YONEX’s EZONE Ai series of rackets, used by Ricardas in his recent qualifying match, have received excellent reviews. In February, the EZONE Ai 100 was selected as the best tennis racquet by Germany’s tennis magazine, Tennis MAGAZIN. Earlier this month Netherland’s tennis magazine, Tennis.nl, selected the EZONE Ai 108 as the winner in a performance test. Testers praised the racquet’s flexibility, and its ability to reduce errors on the court. While good for beginners, pros like YONEX player, Ana Ivanovic (EZONE Ai 98), also use the EZONE Ai to win their big matches.
Meanwhile, at the Dusseldorf Open, defending champion Juan “Pico” Monaco (VCORE Xi 98) reached the quarter-finals. A video of him talking about his performance, and his YONEX VCORE Xi has been uploaded to YouTube.
