Updating this post, Roger Federer has switched to a Wilson ProStaff RF97 Autograph Black
Hey folks.
First my sincerest apologies for not updating TennisThis.com as much lately. Unfortunately, life has been getting in the way of keeping up with the Joneses. Gotta keep those bills and family taken care of.
Anyway, I’m inching my way back into the tennis blogging world and starting it with a bang! Like almost every major tournament, I like to give stuff away so with the US Open just weeks away, I’m going to be giving away something really cool!
Win a Wilson ProStaff RF 97 Autograph!
Also known as Roger Federer’s tennis racquet of choice. We’ve waited for over a year to find out what the blacked out weapon he carried in his bag was; now that it’s finally here, I’m giving one away! Woohoo!!!

How excited are you at the opportunity to win a Wilson ProStaff RF 97 Autograph??? I would be totally stoked that’s for sure. It’s really too bad I can’t enter my own giveaway. All kidding aside, this is a great opportunity for you to win this sweet Wilson ProStaff RF 97 Autograph and be the first on the courts with it.
How do I enter to win a Wilson ProStaff RF 97 Autograph?
Well, it’s super simple. Like every other contest I’ve done in the past, I have certain requirements; simply enter a comment in the comments section, share on twitter/facebook/instagram/reddit/wherever and wait patiently while the US Open starts and finishes. A single winner will be selected at random at the end of the 2014 Men’s US Open finaland that selected winner will be contacted by me. At that point, the winner has 24 hours to respond to my email confirming they are willing to accept this awesome prize. Also,since the Wilson ProStaff RF 97 Autograph will not be shipping until October 1, 2014; the winner will have to be patient and wait until the racquets are shipped!
This time, I’m going to ask for comments to tell me what’s in your tennis bag! Make a short, or long, list of what’s in your bag (racquets, strings, wristbands, dampeners, etc?). Oh and of course, I would love it if you shared on your social networks too…the more entrants the more fun!
Here’s what’s in my bag:
2 matched Mantis Pro 295’s (Currently strung with Kirschbaum Max Power Rough and YTex Square X @44lbs)
30 pack of Tourna Grip XL (get some here)
Pete Sampras Tourna dampeners (get some here)
Jump rope (get one here)
