edberg playing with an adidas frame?

[ysdwdy]

This was the second tournament (after Japan Open I believe) where he tried a new Adidas racquet (this was around the time when his Wilson Prostaff sponsorship ended). Apparently, Edberg did not like the new racquet and never tried another one until retirement.

@ysdwdy after Adidas, did stefan come back Wilson racket, really???

[ysdwdy]

In fact Stefan would say he never changed his racquet during his career other than one time where he tried out a new racquet for a tournament or two. After firmly establishing himself as a superstar (w/ 90 Wimbledon win) he received a new Wilson sponsorship, and used the same raquet with a Pro Staff Classic 6.1 (disguise) paint job for about a couple of year. Thereafter, he went back to the original make up he always played with.

Nobody approached the perfection in volleying, except Edberg.
