Arthur Fils tennis racquet
Arthur Fils tennis racquet is the Babolat Pure Aero 98 (click for our Aero 98 review), similar to Holger Rune’s racquet and Carlos Alcaraz racquet. There might be differences in specifications, but we see many aggressive ball strikers enjoying the power and spin potential of this racquet. Fils uses Babolat RPM Blast as his string setup, which is the same as Alcaraz before he switched to Babolat RPM Team.
For the above-mentioned players, they might still be using the older Pure Aero VS but under the new cosmetic. However, the differences are relatively slight and most club players will appreciate the increased comfort of the Aero 98 over the raw VS.
We are unaware of Fils racquet specifications. Like most pro tennis players, he likely customizes the racquets in some way. If you know Fils racquet specs, let us know in the comments.
You can check out the Babolat Pure Aero 98 from our friends at Tennis Warehouse, Tennis Warehouse Europe or Tennis Only. And they have loads of resellers of the Aero 98 at Amazon as well.
