Rafael Nadal was the last man to win a Grand Slam title with a wooden racket and it was his only major title

Professional tennis has come a long way since the 1980s with the game now a completely different entity entirely.

Back in the eighties, wooden rackets were used for starters and it’s quite staggering that they were able to play so fantastically well.

Technology has come a long way in terms of equipment and the balls are also yellow now as opposed to the white ones that used to be in operation.

Clearly, things are more advanced in this day and age and perhaps the current stars get things handed to them on a plate in comparison.

These days players take a number of rackets out onto the court but back then the bags were always filled with new rackets.
