Now six more ambitious players have joined the Yonex roster, producing strong results with their new high-performance gear.

 

Four Americans, in Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton, Brandon Nakashima and Jack Sock are the latest to join Team Yonex. Of the eight Americans who are in the ATP Top 50, as of Apr. 3, 2023, four play with Yonex.
