Federer Confirms He'll Play with Larger Racquet in Hamburg
By Chris Oddo
(July 16, 2013) --
Roger Federer
told reporters in a conference call prior to the beginning of the Bet-a-Home Open in Hamburg that he'll be trying a 98 square inch racqet at the clay-court event, the
German website Sport.ch reports
. (Translate via Google)
“Yes, I have a new racquet,” Federer said. “It features a larger head. So far I've played with a 90, now I get to a 98th order. I think 90% of the players on the ATP Tour have head sizes between 95 and 100.”
Federer's racquet has been the subject of a maelstrom of twitter activity, with photos of the
phantom black Wilson frame popping up all over the internet
.
On Tuesday, Federer confirmed the rumors to the press. “Since Wimbledon we have now tested this, and so far it's going great. I can easily develop with the new racquet power. The racquet change is in my opinion one of the largest for a tennis player. “
On Wednesday, the 17-time Grand Slam champion will give the racquet it's first ATP tour-level test ride against the hard-serving German Daniel Brands.
