Pro Tennis String Setups: 69 Sourced Records

Explore reported mains, crosses, gauges, and tensions for ATP, WTA, and legendary players. Every row includes a verification date and linkable evidence, with racquet context where the two catalogs match.

Reported snapshots, not permanent specifications

Professional players adjust tension for weather, court speed, balls, altitude, and personal feel. Treat each row as a dated public snapshot. “Official” means the catalog provenance includes an official brand, player, or manufacturer reference; the linked snapshot may come from a separate public equipment record. “Reported” means a stringer or established equipment publication; “Historical” identifies archival evidence for a retired player.

lbs first, kg second. The source catalog stores tension in kg. This page converts it to lbs for display without changing the underlying record. Missing values are shown plainly rather than inferred.

A pro tension is context, not a prescription

Tour players swing faster, use customized frames, and restring far more often than recreational players. Copying a number without copying the racquet, string construction, gauge, climate, and restring schedule can create a completely different stringbed.

For your own racquet, begin with its manufacturer range, choose a construction and objective, then measure the same setup over time. Our tension chart gives a safer starting framework.

Measure your setup, not someone else’s

Build a fresh-string baseline and track what your own racquet does between restrings.
