Roger Federer, the tennis legend often credited with revitalizing the sport, has once again partnered with Wilson to release a new line of signature rackets. The collaboration marks another milestone in Federer’s longstanding relationship with Wilson, a brand he has been associated with throughout his illustrious career.
Federer, who rose to fame with his extraordinary talent and style of play, quickly became a global tennis phenomenon. His influence on the sport is undeniable, inspiring a new generation of players including stars like Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev, many of whom grew up idolizing the Swiss maestro. Federer’s impact extends beyond his on-court achievements; his iconic one-handed backhand and signature “RF” logo have become synonymous with excellence in tennis.
The latest collaboration with Wilson has resulted in the creation of three new racquets: the RF 01 Pro, RF 01, and RF 01 Future. Federer played a significant role in the design of these racquets, particularly the RF 01 Pro, leveraging his vast experience and insights into what makes a tennis racquet truly exceptional.
“Having spent my whole career playing with Wilson racket, I’m excited about the new RF Collection that we’ve created together,” Federer expressed. He further added that he hopes the new collection will inspire the stars of today, much like he was inspired the first time he picked up a Wilson racket.
Federer also emphasized the user-friendly design of the new racquets, aiming to strike a balance that appeals to both professional players and tennis enthusiasts. “We have elements with RF, we have elements with Wilson, and I feel like we struck a good balance,” Federer noted.
The launch of this new collection not only celebrates Federer’s enduring legacy but also reinforces his commitment to the sport, even as he transitions into a new phase of his life and career.
