Andy Murray Switches Racquet After 20 Years
New Yonex Ezone 100 Breaks Partnership With HEAD
WEB Murray celebrates his 37th birthday on Wednesday, surprised many tennis fans this week when he arrived at the ATP Challenger Tour 175 with a different racket. Murray is switching from his long-time partner HEAD to Yonex. Murray is using the Yonex EZONE 100, customized with lead tape. Murray's team confirmed that the Scot has changed his racket after 20 years.
Why the Change?
Murray is coming towards the end of his career and may be looking for a racket that gives him more power and control. Murray's coach pointed out that the Yonex EZONE 100 is a heavier racket and that could assist Murray with power.
It's unusual for a player to change rackets, especially after 20 years, but Murray's move to Yonex could be a sign of things to come. As players age, they often need to make adjustments to their game, and that sometimes includes changing rackets.
It will be interesting to see how Murray performs with his new racket. He is a future Hall of Famer and one of the greatest players of all time. If the Yonex EZONE 100 can help him extend his career, it would be a major coup for the company.
