Alejandro Tabilo, or “Jano” which is his nickname, is a Chilean player with a career high rank of no 19. But what is Tabilo’s racquet and gear?
Alejandro Tabilo’s Tennis Racquet
Alejandro Tabilo’s racquet is painted like a Yonex VCORE 98 from 2023, but it is most likely an older version. Most pros stick with a racquet for many, many years, and it is too risky for them to change to a new model. It can happen, but it is usually to get more power or spin. If you go back five or six years, he was using Babolat but switched to Yonex and if you look at older pics, you can see him using the Yonex VCORE SV 98.
Tabilo uses a polyester hybrid setup, something which is becoming a bit more popular on the tour and is used by other Yonex players like Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton. Tabilo has Yonex Poly Tour Pro in the mains and most likely Yonex Poly Tour Spin in the crosses. The Pro string is softer and round, while the Spin is five-sided and offers more spin potential. Ruud uses a similar setup.
