Stefanos Tsitsipas is currently the #11 ranked men's tennis player in the world. The 25-year-old Greek has been ranked as high as #3 and has 10 ATP Tour singles titles in his young career. He finished runner-up at both the 2021 French Open and 2023 Australian Open, losing both times to Novak Djokovic in the finals. Offered here is the Wilson player model racquet that Tsitsipas used at the 2023 ATP Miami Open tournament when he advanced to the fourth round.
The Wilson Blade V8 racquet shows solid evidence of use within the strings and around the outer rim. Tsitsipas' unique "ST" logo is found inside the throat on one side across from a white sticker with "26.3" to indicate the KG pressure strength of the strings. The outer throat is labeled "98, 18x20, 305g" for the specs. The tournament was played from March 20 to April 2, with Tsitsipas getting kncked out by Khachanov of Russia in the Round of 16 on March 28th. The racquet strings remain strong and completely intact. The white grip is also intact. Our consignor has a large tennis collection and attends many matches in person. He has many connections and is able to procure most of his items from either tournament officials or the player's inner circle. This racquet was sourced directly from Tsitsipas' personal stringer. A great example from one of Europe's top players.
