The Most Popular Racquets in the ATP Top 20
Last updated 2026-05-19
The current ATP top 20 reveals fascinating insights into racquet preferences among tennis's elite players. While the field is surprisingly diverse, with 10 different models represented, one racquet clearly leads the pack.
Babolat Pure Aero Dominates
The Babolat Pure Aero stands out as the clear favorite, wielded by four top-20 players. This spin-friendly powerhouse is the weapon of choice for world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, along with Felix Auger-Aliassime, Alexander Bublik, and rising star Arthur Fils. The Pure Aero's aerodynamic design and spin-generating capabilities make it particularly appealing to the modern aggressive baseline game that defines today's tour.
HEAD's Strong Showing
HEAD claims significant real estate in the top 20, with three different models represented. The HEAD Speed appears in the hands of two tennis legends: Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. This racquet's blend of power and control suits their precise, aggressive styles perfectly.
The HEAD Gravity serves Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev, offering the stability needed for their powerful groundstrokes. Meanwhile, the HEAD Radical provides Taylor Fritz and Flavio Cobolli with its classic feel and versatility.
Wilson and Yonex Round Out the Field
Wilson contributes three models to the mix. The Wilson Ultra satisfies the speed and maneuverability needs of Alex de Minaur and Learner Tien, while singles appearances include Karen Khachanov's unique Wilson "Python" and Jiri Lehecka's classic Wilson Pro Staff.
Yonex maintains its presence with two models: the EZONE (Ben Shelton and Casper Ruud) and the PERCEPT (Luciano Darderi). Lorenzo Musetti rounds out the top 20 with the HEAD Boom.
This distribution shows that while spin-friendly racquets like the Pure Aero lead the way, elite players still prioritize finding the perfect match for their individual playing styles over following trends.
