What rackets do Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and the WTA top 10 use?
The likes of Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Coco Gauff all found huge success on the WTA Tour this past year – but what did they use to scale those heights?
We look at what rackets the WTA year-end top 10 used to power their 2024 success.
1) Aryna Sabalenka – Wilson
Sabalenka was the dominant force on the WTA Tour in 2024, with the Belarusian topping the year-end rankings and winning the Australian and US Open titles.
The Belarusian uses the Wilson Blade 98 v9, having been sponsored by the famed company for several years.
2) Iga Swiatek – Tecnifibre
2024 saw Swiatek win her fifth Grand Slam title at Roland Garros, alongside capturing a further four WTA 1000 titles across the season.
The world No 2 is the highest-profile Tecnifibre athlete and currently uses the T-FIGHT 300 ISOFLEX.
3) Coco Gauff – Head
US star Gauff ended the year as the world No 3 after winning three titles – including the WTA Finals – and reaching semi-finals at the Australian Open and French Open.
Gauff has been sponsored by Head for the majority of her playing career and is using the HEAD Boom MP as things stand.
4) Jasmine Paolini – Yonex
One of the biggest breakout stars of 2024, Paolini cracked the top 10 in a year that saw her reach the French Open and Wimbledon finals – and win doubles gold at the Olympics.
Paolini is the first of four players in the WTA top 10 who uses a Yonex racket, specifically the Yonex Vcore 100.
5) Zheng Qinwen – Wilson
2024 saw Chinese star Qinwen not only reach her first Grand Slam final at the Australian Open but also win Olympic gold in Paris – alongside a further two WTA titles.
World No 5 Qinwen is the highest-ranked player on the WTA to use a Wilson racket, with the 22-year-old employing the Wilson Pro Staff 97 V14 to power her success.
