Wilson Pro Staff 6.0 85 – Chinese production 1998-2001

85 sq in

The Pro Staff 6.0 85 is one of the most prolific racquets ever made. This racquet was used to secure 23 Grand Slam titles including the 14 from Pete Sampras. The Pro Staff 6.0 was first produced in 1982 and there have been four versions of this racquet including the Chicago, St Vincent, Taiwan and Chinese versions. It has been used by Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, Jim Courier, Stefan Edberg, Chris Evert, Roger Federer, and Mary Pierce. The Pro Staff 85 6.0 St Vincent version was preferred by Pete Sampras. As Pete was a childhood hero of Roger – Roger chose the frame used by his hero. Roger used the Chinese production version to defeat Pete Sampras in 2001 in the 4th round of Wimbledon 7-6 , 5-7, 6-4, 6-7, 7-5. Whilst there is little difference in the performance of each of the four production versions, the St Vincent version is considered the most collectible.

(2 with HPS 6.1, 1 with

HPS 6.0) Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 Silver W was the racket of choice for Roger at the start of the 2002 season, but it was merely a paint job over his Pro Staff 85. The retail version was a 95 square inch head, but Roger has never used above a 90 sq inch head at that time, and a transition from 85 to 95 is unlikely. Hyper Pro Staff 6.0 was the first official 90 sq inch racquet used by Roger in the latter half of 2002 Titles with Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 Silver W (Jan-May 2002) Adidas International, Sidney (January 2002) Masters Series Hamburg (May 2002) Titles with Hyper Pro Staff 6.0 (May 2002-Jan 2003) CA Tennis Trophy, Vienna (October 2002)

Roger started working with Wilson to develop a 97 sq inch racquet resulting in a racquet with a larger sweet spot without sacrificing the feel. “For me switching rackets was not only about a larger head,” Federer said in fall 2014. “I was also looking for a racket that was more forgiving and could provide me with easy power. It was also important that my racket was responsive and offered the same great feel I had grown accustomed to in my previous Wilson Pro Staff rackets. The larger racket suits my attacking style, allowing me to play more aggressively and with less risk.” After a very bad second half of the 2013 season, in 2014 with this Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships racket Roger was back to play a good tennis and won two titles: Gerry Weber Open, Halle

In mid-2016, Roger took a 6 month injury layoff after struggling for months with a knee injury. Roger returned in early 2017 with a new racquet and a new attitude. His phenomenal performance in 2017 has resulted in him clinching his 18th and 19th Grand Slam titles as well as an Australian Open 2017 unprecedented 8th Wimbledon title.
