Hey Tennisthis.com fans and readers! Just when we thought 2010 was coming to a close without a hitch, we have found this interesting little picture. Who is that and what is she holding? After tons and tons of rumors that Caroline Wozniacki was going to switch tennis racquets, we come across this picture providing evidence that she could very well be leaving Babolat tennis racquets behind and going to Yonex tennis rackets.

Interesting eh? We thought so, which is why we are sharing this with you. Wozniacki had not made the switch until now because of her contract with Babolat (expires at the end of the year). We’re sure Yonex has paid a pretty penny to get the tennis superstar to sign with them, however; we are confident it is well worth the price.

Looking at the Yonex tennis racquet, it’s quite hard to make out what model Wozniacki will be using. But we are pretty sure it will be the new line that Yonex will be announcing at the beginning of the new year. It is certainly not the E-Zone model that Yonex has, so our guess is as good as yours.

Now the only questions that remain are, will this racket change help her tennis game? Will she be able to capture a slam with the change? What is the adjustment period like for her? What else can we expect from Wozniacki switching tennis racquets? What are your thoughts readers?

Oh and a side note, Wozniacki looks absolutely stunning in that white tennis dress!

The new 2011 Yonex V-Core 100S tennis racquet is the choice of the Womens’ #1 player, Caroline Wozniacki

As you can see by the picture to the left, top ranked American, Andy Roddick is displaying a new tennis shoe from Babolat. He is introducing the new 2011 Babolat Propulse 3 tennis shoe. We could not find much information on the shoe, however; this is what we got from what we did find; the tennis shoe comes in 3 styles (Propulse 3…3 styles, coincidence?), Clay (red, white, black), White (hard court), and a lady version. Babolat has also listed 5 technologies within the tennis shoe as a selling point; “Exact” – The Shoe Propulser – for a faster, more precise, and more efficient footwork.  Also includes the standard Michelin rubber sole (6 month warranty we bet). The tennis shoe also includes “OCS” (Optimized Cell System) which will help the tennis player with more traction durability. One of the new Babolat technologies that is being presented is “KS” (Kompressor System), which allows for long lasting heel cushioning and comfort, TPR Tubes (eh?) which give energy dispersion, shock absorption, and more Dynamism (great energy, force, or power; vigor). Another neat feature of the Propulse 3 tennis shoe is the “Shell Shield” in the toe, which gives the tennis player more softness in the toe without sacrificing durability for the toe dragger. One of the more interesting aspects of the shoe is the strapping system, the Propulse 3 comes with a heel strap and a 360 foot strap. The combination of the two straps allows maximum comfort within the tennis shoe that is fully customizable.
