Have you wondered who plays with Babolat rackets on the pro circuit? I am an recreative Tennis player for over 10 years and I’m not going to lie about the fact that one of my reasons to buy a new racket is the Pro who uses the same brand or model.

Some of the most famous Tennis players sponsored by Babolat are: Rafael Nada, Fabio Fognini, Dominic Thiem, Andy Roddick, Karolina Pliskova, Sofia Kenin and Garbine Muguruza.

You may find some players that used both the Pure Drive and Pure Aero on their career as Pro and that’s why some names show up again in my list below for the Pure Aero racket.

In the case you are deciding to buy the Pure Drive, I recommend you to take a look on this article, there I compared the Pure Drive model with other 2 models from Babolat.

Pro Tennis players that endorse, use, or used Babolat Pure Aero

Most people knows that Rafael Nadal endorses the Babolat Pure Aero racket, a few people knows that he uses an old racket called Babolat AeroPro Drive (2005) with the same painting as the new Pure Aero and that some other players do that too.

Unfortunately, the AeroPro Drive is not available to the common public to buy, just the Pure Aero, but this doesn’t mean that the Pure Aero is not the best choice for recreational and professional players.

The thing with professional players is that they rarely change their rackets, even when the new model is better than the old one, they rather stay with the same gear that is working better for their game.

In the list below I united some Pro Tennis players that endorses, use or used the Babolat Pure Aero racket in at least one Pro match.
