Ann Li, an American player with a career-high singles WTA singles ranking of 33, but what is her racquet and gear?
Ann Li’s tennis racquet
Ann Li’s racquet is a Dunlop FX 500, it could be the 500 Tour, but we would guesstimate it to be the 100 sq inch, 500. It would be safe to predict that she is using an older version painted like the new V3. Lately, she has been seen using a yellow string, which might be Dunlop Explosive Spin, a stiff and spin-friendly string.
Ann Li’s racquets have lead tape added at 3 and 9 for more stability and power. Most pros customize their racquets.
