A closer look at the custom HEAD racquet helping Jannik Sinner bring control and power to his first Wimbledon final.
Jannik Sinner steps onto Centre Court today for the biggest grass-court match of his career, his first-ever Wimbledon final, against none other than Carlos Alcaraz. It’s a high-stakes rematch of their Roland Garros marathon, where the two battled for nearly six hours in what was the longest match in French Open history. The 23-year-old Italian already holds three Grand Slam titles, including the 2024 US Open and back-to-back Australian Opens, and has spent over a year at the top of the ATP rankings.
Despite a mid-season doping suspension and a shaky return in Halle, Sinner has steadied the ship with Rome and Roland Garros final appearances and a sharp, focused Wimbledon campaign. As he looks to capture his first Wimbledon crown, a question looms: what racquet is powering his calm, precise dominance on grass? Let’s take a closer look.

Jannik Sinner plays with a customized pro stock version of the HEAD Graphene Touch Speed MP, known as the HEAD TGT 301.4. A racquet that perfectly blends power, control, and stability. While it might look like a standard HEAD Speed model from the outside, it’s finely tuned to suit Sinner’s aggressive baseline game and surgical shot-making.
Jannik Sinner, meet Jannik Spinner.

The racquet’s standout quality is its balance. With an estimated swingweight of 340, it offers a rock-solid feel through contact, helping Sinner absorb and redirect pace with ease, especially during rapid-fire rallies on grass. The 33.3 cm headlight balance point gives him an edge in maneuverability, crucial for his sharp net play and lightning-quick changes of direction.
Sinner strings his racquet with HEAD Hawk Touch polyester strings at a relatively high tension of 28 kg (61 lbs). This setup (similar to what Stan Wawrinka used) provides exceptional control on big, full swings. That added string tension allows Sinner to swing out without sacrificing precision, giving him the confidence to play his aggressive, line-painting style under pressure.
Jannik Sinner becomes the 2nd man in history to beat Novak Djokovic 5 times in a row.

Even the grip is tuned to feel just right. He reportedly uses a grip size of 4 3/8 (L3), which offers a perfect balance of comfort and responsiveness, a small detail, but one that speaks to the highly customized nature of a top player’s gear.

mma 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.
