Wilson have launched an eye-catching new Roland Garros collection of products that have been inspired by the French Open.

Clay season is arguably the most unique time of the year on the tennis calendar, with the aesthetic being one of the most beloved by fans as well.

Wilson, who are the world’s leading racket sports brand, have paid tribute to the pinnacle of the European clay swing by releasing a limited-edition collection, including rackets, balls and bags.

The company are already the official ball and stringer supplier for the tournament, but they have now gone a step further.

In total, there are 50 products from which to choose, all carrying the iconic branding of both Wilson and Roland Garros.

“With the Roland-Garros collection we want to give the fans of this Grand Slam and clay tennis players the opportunity to be closer to the unique Roland-Garros experience and get the best clay specific products in the market”, said Bertrand Blanc, Senior Director, Global Commercial Racquet Sports at Wilson.

Highlights of the Wilson Roland Garros collection

ROLAND-GARROS BLADE 98 (16X19) V8 TENNIS RACKET

Aggressive, precise ball-strikers will appreciate the feel and torsional stability of this Wilson tennis racket. It has all the features and specs of the Blade 98 16×19 v8 with a design inspired by Roland-Garros.

The main appeal lies in the frame layup, which accommodates the modern, vertical swing path common to competitive players. FORTYFIVE° increases both the flexibility and stability of the frame to lend supreme feel for the ball on every shot.

ROLAND-GARROS CLASH 100 V2 TENNIS RACKET

This Wilson tennis racket takes the playability of the Clash 100 v2 and mixes it with a design inspired by the biggest clay court tennis tournament in the world.

The Clash 100 Roland-Garros offers flexibility and stability thanks to the patented FORTYFIVE° construction. The tip of the hoop has been reconstructed, stretching the sweet spot and enhancing stability up higher in the string bed. The result? A great all-around racket with plenty of style.

ROLAND GARROS CLAY COURT BALL CAN

Wilson have been the official ball supplier at Roland Garros since 2020, so there is no more authentic choice for your own clay court outings.

With a core designed for longer rallies and a felt that limits moisture and dirt build-up for maximum consistency during tight points, the Wilson Roland Garros ball creates the perfect performance fit for the clay court season. The balls are available in two versions a 3-balls and a 4-balls can.

ROLAND-GARROS SUPER TOUR 15 PACK

Players are always looking to bring their games to the next level, and the Roland-Garros Super Tour 15 Pack can help along the way.

Side accessory pockets are strategically placed around the bag so you can bring all the necessities to the court, even the tiny good-luck charm. The Dual Carrying option makes it even easier to transport to and from the court. A nine-racket version is also available.

The ITF, tennis’ world governing body, have released an app that is free to download and use today. ‘Rules of Tennis’ is a user-friendly handbook that can aid anyone from casual players to top level officials in making the right call in any given situation.

The app covers everything from basic scoring through to the acceptable dimensions of on-court advertising and how ITF Court Pace Ratings are calculated. The search function makes finding a specific rule easy to achieve, and the app contains all of the rules to wheelchair and beach tennis as well, making it a truly all-encompassing guide.

**Sorry to interrupt but we wanted to inform you that the latest 164 page, print issue of tennishead magazine is now FREE for everyone to order (It normally costs $25/£12). There is a small shipping cost but we’ll deliver anywhere in the world. Or you can order a copy for yourself and a free copy for a friend.**

The nature of online technology means that the app can also be updated in real-time, so any amendments to the rules that are approved by the ITF can be shared as soon as possible with the app’s users. At the very top of the app’s home screen is a ‘What’s New’ section covering full rule changes and trials (such as Wimbledon’s experiment with a tiebreak at 12-12 in the fifth).

In their press release the ITF say that they are, “responsible for protecting the integrity of the game through the determination of the rules of tennis. The new app will be an essential tool to communicate those rules, including the latest amendments, to the millions of people involved in tennis.” The publishing of the app comes as part of the ITF’s wider education drive, which also includes a number of free resources that are now available as part of the ITF Academy. This features a number of short online courses primarily geared towards improving coaching techniques.

The ‘Rules of Tennis’ app can be downloaded on Google Play for Android or on the App Store for Apple devices. The ITF Academy can be accessed here.
