We analyzed the Wilson RF 01, a racket inspired by Roger Federer
Federer cannot be understood without Wilson, nor Wilson without Federer. This RF 01 is proof of this magnificent duo.
On August 8, 2024, Wilson unveiled a racket with the aim of ushering in a new era in tennis: the Wilson RF 01. A model that not only pays homage to the legendary Roger Federer, but is also designed to elevate on-court performance to another level. I had the immense privilege of testing it to share with you in this review everything you need to know about this racket.
Wilson and Federer, an Indissoluble Duality
Those of us who have been following this sport for a long time know that the Wilson-Federer duo is a consolidated pairing over the decades. On one hand, we have a distinguished brand in the world of sports, especially in tennis, manufacturing championship rackets wielded by the best in history. On the other hand, we have the player who has perfected tennis to an unparalleled level, mastering every facet of the game with unmatched naturalness and harmony. Federer and Wilson have mutually fueled each other over this time, reaching performance levels that were unimaginable for both the brand and the player.
The peak of this bond is reached with the Wilson RF 01, an aesthetically delightful racket. Our friends at Wilson are known for designs that could easily be showcased in prestigious art galleries, but the RF 01 is undeniably the crown jewel. Adorned in the famous black color that characterizes the rackets Roger has used over the past decade, this model strikes a perfect balance between sobriety and elegance, including silver details, among which the iconic RF logo, after which the racket is named, prominently features both on the racket and the grip.
At the Forefront of Technology
Wilson excels in design, but is also renowned for technological innovation. For this groundbreaking model, they have incorporated enhancements that you will appreciate with each stroke:
SABR FRAME DESIGN: Frame design crafted in collaboration with Roger to enable a versatile style of play, allowing for rhythm changes, effects, and direction alterations, which are the signature of the Swiss player’s versatile style.
