An interesting post on social media reveals the tension and the kind of strings used by top players in Atlanta

Nick Kyrgios And His Strings

Nick Kyrgios, Reilly Opelka, John Isner and Sebastian Korda have decided to compete in the current ATP 250 in Atlanta. There was a very interesting post on Twitter stating the kind of strings and the tension used by the tennis players.

It was extremely interesting to note that John Isner uses an incredibly low tension (just 35 pounds). On the other side, the tennis player who uses the strongest tension is John Millman (66 points). Kyrgios strings at 54 points, Opelka 47, and Korda 50/47.

Here is the list.
