Williams has always been an outlier in terms of her racquet choice. Many top women tennis players use racquets with 98 to 100-square-inch frames. However, the American GOAT has opted for an oversized Wilson Blade SW102 racquet. This racquet has a head size of 102 square inches, making it one of the largest racquets on tour. The racquet has a thick beam and a high swing-weight frame that requires a lot of effort to move. However, once the racquet gains momentum, the ball will fly off the string, making it an ideal choice for her game.

In the post, the 41-year-old is seen with her racquet in a fierce pose. Williams captioned it, “I picked up my racket, but I didn’t make it out.”
