Club 3 Stripes Shorts Herren - Weiß, SchwarzAlex de Minaur has powered through a brutal contest to march into the third round of the Australian Open with a victory over plucky Frenchman Adrian Mannarino. The hometown favourite overcame his stubborn opponent to win 7-63 4-6 6-4 6-1 in front of a boisterous crowd at John Cain Arena. De Minaur made a tentative start with a number of unforced errors robbing him of any rhythm with the veteran forcing the Aussie to work through a number of extended exchanges. MORE Australian Open 2023 LIVE - Results, schedule, scores and Aussies on court Despite cutting down his error count as the first set progressed though, issues with finding his depth then began to disrupt de Minaur's game. But when Mannarino went for a speculative winner down the line, his miss gifted the Aussie an opportunity to break serve. Although a perfectly executed wide serve saved the break point at 4-4. De Minaur continued to give himself chances of breaking, winning the bulk of points on second serve but remained unable to convert these into quantifiable moments as Mannarino escaped yet another love – 30 game. The tight tussle continued with a few entertaining rallies before de Minaur prevailed in the tiebreak thanks to an impressive passing shot and some excellent defence on the baseline. Yet Mannarino immediately responded by breaking the Australian in the first game of the second set, as Lleyton Hewitt called for an improvement in de Minaur’s serve which was operating at slightly above 50%. “Alex has got to serve a little bit better and get some more cheap points,” Hewitt said from his fellow countryman’s coach's box. The first set took over an hour to complete and the gruelling nature of the contest didn’t let up with a 38-shot rally early in the second. Mannarino managed to score the double break, eventually wrapping up the set 6-4 to level proceedings following another marathon showing as the match inched past two hours. De Minaur started the third set better than he did the previous one after holding onto his service game despite a scare, but then he eventually lost his serve again with Mannarino proving a tough test with his nimble work around the court and precise shot placement. Although just as the Frenchman looked to be gaining the upper hand the topsy turvy nature of the match ramped up another level when The Demon’ responded in kind to level at 3-3. The Australian’s energy levels spiking as he roared to the crowd to lift after powering through a passing shot to swing the momentum. The duo then exchanged an incredible point in the closing stages of the third set as de Minaur stormed back to claim it 6-4 at the first time of asking. Exhaustion visibly setting in for Mannarino when he dropped a sliced return into the heart of the net. De Minaur was now riding high in both confidence and momentum while on the opposite end of the court his opponent was lambasting his bad luck with shots skewing off his racquet at regular intervals. “Mannarino looks all over the place,” Hewitt said. “Alex just needs to keep his head and stay calm.” The long rallies had long since dissipated along with Mannarino's composure and De Minaur scored a break to make it 3-1 in the fourth. The Aussie suddenly rolling to towards victory after he at one stage claimed 13 of 15 points available to cruise into a 4-1 lead. With the double break comfortably in his back pocket and his opponent neutralised, de Minaur served to see out the match and sent an ace crashing down the line to wrap up the victory in emphatic fashion.

Aussie youngster Alex de Minaur is making waves in the Brisbane ATP tournament after beating Raonic, Johnson and Mmoh. But what racquet is he using? 18-year-old de Minaur uses a blacked-out Wilson pro stock racquet similar to David Ferrer. It's a pro stock version of the Wilson Steam 99 with a 16×18 string pattern. He uses Luxilon 4G strings. Alex de Minaur doesn't have a massive power game, but has a smart tennis mind and fights for every point. With this game style it's ideal to have Lleyton Hewitt as your coach so de Minaur can for sure be a top 20 player in a few years if he keeps this up. If he can go further than that is hard to say, based on his game, I would say it might prove difficult unless he does big strides with both technique and physique. Do you want to know what other racquets the ATP pros use? Check out this post. What is so special about this Wilson Steam 99 mold then? It's hard to say. It is a powerful racquet with a high stiffness rating, but obviously with a pro stock mold this might be lowered to suit players like David Ferrer and Alex de Minaur.

1 I saw him playing in the Australian Open Wildcard Playoffs with a blacked out racket, does anyone know what racket it may be and whether he switched sponsors from Tecnifibre? 2 I saw him playing in the Australian Open Wildcard Playoffs with a blacked out racket, does anyone know what racket it may be and whether he switched sponsors from Tecnifibre? Not sure. Is there a schedule that shows when players matches start so we can look at the live streaming? 3 Blacked out, 16x19, new string too, could be anything from a ZUS to a TenXpro. No idea. 4 Wilson h22 , look at the buttcap 5 It's obviously a Wilson. Also looks like he switched to 4G. IMO its a Steam 99 pro stock like Ferrer, it's glossy at the throat and doesn't seem to have PWS so not an RF97. Note the 16x18 pattern. 6 Wilson h22 , look at the buttcap No H22 come in 16x18. 8 It's obviously a Wilson. Also looks like he switched to 4G.

I hit with his tecnifibres at the futures in brisbane last year, they were stock and light as hell. Nice frames tecnifbre Some more heft will do Alex a world of good. He has pretty good agility and a fighting attitude, but his pace is so slow compared to others which I would put down to equipment and physique reasons. It was very noticable at the beginning of 2017 when he had a bit of screen time. He looks to have put on a bit of muscle this year too which will also help. 10 Darn, I really want to see more players with Tecnifibre, shame to see him leave. 11 What racquet is this again? 12 What racquet is this again? a Wilson pro stock steam 99 16x18, similar to what Ferrer has been swinging. 13 a Wilson pro stock steam 99 16x18, similar to what Ferrer has been swinging.

Even in the description you can find the following... ... Hint fans of the old Steam 99 should love this stick. ... 17 This most likely. I hit with his tecnifibres at the futures in brisbane last year, they were stock and light as hell. Nice frames tecnifbre The Blade Team has a oz version 18 Cool. The string pattern on his looks fairly tight in the middle. I'm guessing its the same pattern on the Blade 99? It doesn't look like its available to demo. 19 Looks like he still had a Tecnifibre bag, so I guess he's still supposed be endorsing Tec 20 If he's waiting waiting for a lucrative racquet deal.. I think he won't be without a stencil and paintjob for too much longer. 21 Just check that site pro-stocks, you will see them there 22 Just check that site pro-stocks, you will see them there There are 2. One is in K factor paint and I’m pretty sure they just put down what it says on the throat 16x18 because it is of a paint instead of stringing the frame and getting 16x19. The other is a really weird paint that I have never seen before and it seems like PS97 paint, also the string spacing almost makes it looks like they missed a cross.

Theyre trying to get him to sign with Yonex. No more Tecnifibre. 26 Will be hard to hide a Wilson under Yonex paint but I'm sure he would transition well to some of their current offerings. 27 Guy is an explosive player and an elite mover. Won’t be long before he is a fixture in main draws. Higher ceiling than any young American male player right now. 28 Whoever he sign with, he will eventually get his only racquet autograph with his picture inside the hoop! de Minaur is a person that recreational high school, college, tournament players can idolize because of his never give up outlook and an undersize physical size. He will sell a ton of tennis stuff if he makes it interesting top 10 ranking! Plus he is only 18! 29 He needs to keep the stick he has. It's working. 30 He needs to keep the stick he has. It's working. The racquet company he sign on to can either PJ his current racquets or make a custom mold for him! 31 The racquet company he sign on to can either PJ his current racquets or make a custom mold for him! why is that ?? he can't just change rackets to Yonex or head stock pro spec frames ? Even Wilson would have some good pro spec rackets with Pro staff or Blade line of rackets... 32 Just saw a live shot of him warming up in Sydney... With an unmistakable big red W on the strings... 33 Inside info Alex de Minaur split with IMG and now is managed by whomever represented Hewitt. Theyre trying to get him to sign with Yonex. No more Tecnifibre. Odd as he now seems to be sporting Wilson stencil as of today. Could definitely see him in Yonex though. I am sure he has given some of Hewitt or Kyrgios' sticks a swing. 34 He needs to keep the stick he has. It's working. Night and day difference in pace and spin when compared to these tournaments last year. 35 Red paint peeking through 36 It seems that he uses Luxilon 4g also ? 37 Odd as he now seems to be sporting Wilson stencil as of today. Could definitely see him in Yonex though. I am sure he has given some of Hewitt or Kyrgios' sticks a swing. Ok then..... No Yonex deal! Bummer about Tecnifibre...... Loosing him just before the AO. 38 Wonder what the Wilson blackout racquet will become a Blade, Burn or Ultra branding? Last edited Jan 9, 2018 39 Wonder what the Wilson blackout racquet will become a Blade, Burn or Ultra branding? Good Question Any clue what he is using? H22? 40 Good Question Any clue what he is using? H22? Refer to earlier post and it seems to be a Wilson Stream 99 Pro Stock racquet. 41 My money is on Burn 100 paint. 42 Refer to earlier post and it seems to be a Wilson Stream 99 Pro Stock racquet. Is it still a Steam 99 even with the red showing thru the black paint on the photo posted at 35? Or is it just red just primer? Last edited Jan 11, 2018 43 Is it still a Steam 99 even with the red showing thru the black paint on the photo posted at 35? Is the red just primer? most likely just primer. 44 Wilson has the retail version of this as the Blade Team 99. 45 I am sure Wilson is hustling to get de Minaur PJ racquets, racquet bags out to him before AO starts up! Cannot wait to see his exact PJ model! 46 Will it be black with what color at 3 and 9? Red Blue Green Orange Yellow Gold etc??? 47 Will it be black with what color at 3 and 9? Red Blue Green Orange Yellow Gold etc??? The current Wilson paintjobs lack so much imagination and creativity it boggles the mind. They must have fired all their graphic designers and used the accountants department to come up with these incredibly boring paintjobs. 48 The current Wilson paintjobs lack so much imagination and creativity it boggles the mind.

They must have fired all their graphic designers and used the accountants department to come up with these incredibly boring paintjobs. Subjective I think, personally I think the current Wilson pj's are great. No doubt basic but look very sharp not so much when inverted I could see him rocking the ultra paint though is the burn a little under represented? 50 Current Wilson paint schemes look great imo...they could add a very few accent lines at various places.... Just like the new pure drive...simple is appealing.. But then again...those new Dunlops look sharp...especially that green one..
