Product Information

Meanwhile, American number one Jessica Pegula , who is part of the Women's Tennis Association's player council, said she was "personally not a huge fan" of the balls. She told The Guardian: "I feel like the first couple weeks there are a lot of double faults, because the balls are just kind of flying a bit more. I don't see why we couldn't switch to extra duty. But it's easier said than done, so hopefully the player council can work on that." Wilson: A high-quality core with limited or no fillers, premium woven felt, and a whole lot of love! Iga Swiatek was only half-joking when declaring “you’ve just started a war” at the Western and Southern Open earlier this month. With the spotlight on this disparity, there may well be a change at future US Opens, with the grand slam’s organisers, the United States Tennis Association (USTA), stating it “works closely” with the WTA and ATP Tours and their respective player councils “to determine what type of balls they recommend playing with for the coming US Open”. Regular Duty tennis balls are developed for softer surfaces – like clay or indoor courts. Increased moisture and dirt can cause these balls to fluff up more than Extra Duty balls, though they use a thinner felt woven more tightly around the core to resist this fluffing. These balls play faster, but are less durable than Extra Duty.”

At the end, you can't even serve at 170kmh [105mph] because you know it's going to fly like crazy. They are pretty bad. Right now we play powerful, and we kind of can't loosen up our hands with these balls. We make more mistakes, for sure, so I don't think that's really nice to watch visually." The US Open tennis balls are a great choice for tournaments, matches, training, coaching or for your weekly doubles. If you just want to make sure that you are bringing a popular and respected ball to your weekly four look no further than the Wilson US Open.Wilson: The tennis ball goes through three different compression mould phases – the first to mould the half-shell, the second to mould and pressurize the core, and the third to adhere the felt. Selecting the felt is where a lot of the play characteristics come from. There is an incredible amount of technology that goes into the entire production process, from felt to core. Once we have a concept and have gone through the processes of making a tennis ball- we are continually testing – existing and new concepts – we are always trying to learn and improve. When he was younger, Fritz played mixed doubles in New York, another problematic aspect of the contrasting balls. The mixed doubles competition uses the regular duty balls at the US Open, meaning those who play both men’s and mixed doubles must switch between different balls in the same tournament. One of the few things that the vast majority of professional tennis players agree on is that constantly playing with different balls increases the risk of injuries. The first time I bounced the Wilson tennis ball at the US Open, I was inspired and beside myself with excitement. Seeing US Open written on the ball and knowing that it was more than just a name blew me away. ” -Todd Martin Among her long list of issues with the balls, Swiatek argued that they lead to increased errors and a less impressive product: “Right now we play powerful, and we kind of can’t loosen up our hands with these balls. I know that there are many players who complain, and many of them are top 10. We make more mistakes, for sure. So I don’t think that’s really nice to watch.” A word of warning: do not buy pressureless balls if you’re planning on using them for anything other than training. Pressureless balls are designed for use in ball machines and for basket drills, so are made to be long-lasting and capable of taking a beating.

Registered in England and Wales No. 8055444 Swiatek explained that the lighter balls can contribute to more unforced errors which, in turn, can make matches more unappealing to watch. I've gotten a lot of coaching violations, which I found unfair. But now that it's legalised, I'm more than happy I won't have to deal with referees that are so strict and want to kind of ruin the game."As she departed the press conference room, Swiatek turned to her audience and smiled sheepishly: “You’ve just started a war.” Wilson also says that the regular duty balls are developed for softer surfaces, like clay or indoor courts, compared to the extra duty ones, which are for hard courts and "abrasive" surfaces. The USTA works closely with the WTA and ATP Tour, their player councils and our brand partner on an annual basis to determine what type of balls they recommend," a USTA spokesperson said. I understand that players say that it's an individual sport but on the other hand basically there's coaching in most of sports," the Pole added. In football coaches can shout, even though there's 11 grown men on the field and they should know what to do. They probably know the tactics, but he's still talking."

Of the balls that we sell at a lower price-point, such as the Championship (or champ) line of balls, you will typically find one of two things that varies from the premium balls. There are more nylon fibers in the felt and/or the construction is done by “needle-punch” instead of the woven application used on the premium balls. Tennis News Carlos Alcaraz admits he practises to beat Novak Djokovic as big goal remains on his mind But Fritz offered a unique perspective of his own. He believes the men’s US Open balls are actually too heavy. “Whenever I’m using the ATP or the Dunlop balls we use most of the year, and then I switch to the men’s Wilson balls, they’re heavy. It doesn’t feel good on my arm, so I can’t really imagine how it would feel for the women’s players as well.”I think people underestimate how mental and strategic the sport is, so they don't understand how big of a difference it is. I think those balls are horrible,” Swiatek said, bluntly. “Especially after three games of really hard playing, they are getting more and more light. At the end, you can’t even serve 170 kilometres per hour because you know it’s going to fly like crazy. Yeah, I think they are pretty bad. Sorry.” The best tennis balls should last you a few sessions of play, although the lifespan of balls will vary. The most durable tennis balls can last around six hours of pure court time if you play solely on hard courts. If you play on clay or grass, that number will be smaller, but if you play indoors that time could increase. In my experience, the tennis balls with the most durability are the Wilson US Open and the Dunlop ATP Championship. What do tennis ball numbers mean? Players will be able to receive verbal and non-verbal coaching from the stands during the tournament, provided it does not interrupt play or hinder an opponent.
