Roger Federer has launched his first ‘RF-branded racket with Wilson and has given fans some tips on what they need to look out for when they pick the most important piece of tennis equipment.
In 2022, Federer began collaborating with Wilson’s innovation team to create a racket for his remaining time on tour. The main goals were to increase racket head speed and maintain his versatile style against heavy baseliners while retaining a familiar Wilson racket feel.
Despite retiring that year, Roger and Wilson utilized these insights to develop the RF 01, devoting countless hours to testing and reviewing the designs to create the most premium-performance tennis racket line. This collaboration will keep Roger actively involved in tennis, partnering with Wilson to continue growing the sport, with the RF 01 being the first line in this signature collection.
“Having spent my whole career playing with Wilson rackets, I’m excited about the new RF Collection that we’ve created together,” said Federer as he launched the racket.
“I’m honoured that Wilson is continuing my legacy by further innovating the game I love, and I hope the collection inspires the stars of today as much as I was inspired the first time that I picked up a Wilson racket.”
Now Federer has opened up about his new RF Wilson frame, as he gave his army of fans around the world some hints about the process behind the launch in an interview with the Tennis Channel.
“Having the RF logo on the racket shows you that this is very serious for me,” said Federer.
