Behind All The Racket: Paris

Roman Prokes, founder of RPNY Tennis, checks in with ar.com with a detailed breakdown of Andy’s gear in Paris.

5/27 – 1 racket strung at 62 and 1 at 64 lbs
5/28 – 1 at 62, 1 at 64
5/29 – 1 at 62, 1 at 64
5/30 – 5 rackets prepared for the match at 62 and 3 more at 61 lbs

“It was very cold for this time of the year, which is why Andy strung at looser tensions. As you see he even went down to 61 for the match rackets, not only due to the weather but also due to his injury,” Roman explained. “Looser tension gives more power and does not require as much effort.”
