As Carlos Alcaraz prepares to face Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon 2025 final today, all eyes are on the 22-year-old Spaniard who is chasing a third consecutive title at SW19. Already a two-time defending champion at the All England Club and boasting 21 career singles titles, Alcaraz stands as one of the most dynamic forces in the game today.

But behind his explosive forehand and ever-evolving serve lies a finely tuned setup. One that has grown with him since childhood and plays a crucial role in his success on grass. Let’s find out.

What Racquet Does Carlos Alcaraz Use?

Alcaraz plays with the Babolat Pure Aero 98, strung with Babolat RPM Blast, a combination known for its spin potential and control. He’s been swinging Babolats since the age of 10, and in 2023, he cemented that bond with a seven-year extension that keeps him tied to the French tennis brand until at least 2030. The racquet, renowned for its aerodynamic frame and precision, matches Alcaraz’s aggressive all-court game to perfection.

More than a win, a legacy in the making 🏆

What Changed in 2025? Racquet Tweaks and Serve Mechanics

Coming into the 2025 season, Alcaraz wasn’t content to rely solely on his natural talent. Determined to refine his serve, a shot he openly admitted needed work, he went on a preseason that focused on mechanical changes and equipment tweaks. One key adjustment was adding five grams of lead tape to the neck of his racquet, slightly increasing its weight for better stability and power.

“We knew that the serve was something I had to improve,” Alcaraz told the ATP. “The new movement is a little more relaxed, with a looser wrist and more fluidity. There’s no pause when the racquet reaches the top.” The updated motion, he explained, helps him stay loose during matches and reduces the physical toll of long rallies and tight contests.

As Alcaraz takes to Centre Court today, every swing of his Babolat tells the story of a player who’s evolving physically and technologically.

I’m an academic turned sports writer from Raipur, India, specializing in the NFL, MMA, and tennis at The Playoffs. I previously wrote for Sportskeeda and hold a B.A. and M.A. in History. My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
