The Wilson RF Collection was developed over the course of two years as a series of tennis gear crafted with the needs of pros in mind to help athletes perform their best on the court.
The collection was inspired, designed and tested by Roger Federer himself in anticipation of the athlete using it in his professional career before the announcement of his retirement. The collection consists of a total of three rackets including the RF 01 PRO, the RF 01 and the RF 01 FUTURE, which are priced at $300, $280 and $260, respectively.
The Wilson RF Collection also includes a series of matching racket bags, covers, grips, backpacks and dampeners for pairing with the rackets to help players create a cohesive look.
