Williams has always been an outlier in terms of her racquet choice. Many top women tennis players use racquets with 98 to 100-square-inch frames. However, the American GOAT has opted for an oversized Wilson Blade SW102 racquet. This racquet has a head size of 102 square inches, making it one of the largest racquets on tour. The racquet has a thick beam and a high swing-weight frame that requires a lot of effort to move. However, once the racquet gains momentum, the ball will fly off the string, making it an ideal choice for her game.

In the post, the 41-year-old is seen with her racquet in a fierce pose. Williams captioned it, “I picked up my racket, but I didn’t make it out.” 

Williams has been using the Wilson Blade SW102 racquet for many years. It has been a significant contributor to her success. She has been able to overpower almost everyone on tour with her power game. The SW102 racquet has also helped in other ways. The racquet provides a larger sweet spot, making it easier to hit the ball cleanly. The racquet’s design also enables her to generate a lot of topspin, making it difficult for her opponents to handle her shots.
