Wilson Tennis roped in 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer for the launching of their new Wilson Pro Staff V14 to the world.
The first ProStaff was released in 1984 and designed by the late racquet designer in Wilson Sports, Pierre Babolat and this is the 14th version of the popular racquet.
“Wilson has a new ProStaff coming out the V14 and for the first time in quite some time now I won’t be the one playing or debuting it on the tour which is obviously unfortunate,” Federer says in the ad. “But you’ll see it in the hands of really some great other players from both the ATP and WTA tour in 2023 and beyond. The precision is still at the absolute top of the game and I know you’ll get as much joy out of the new version as with all the ProStaffs I played to date really.”
Federer retired from the sport in September after a glittering career that saw him become the first of the Big 3 to break Pete Sampras‘ mark of 14 Grand Slam titles.
