Wilson wins again at Wimbledon

20/07/2006

The 22nd Racket, Clothing and Equipment Census from Sports Marketing Surveys at the Wimbledon Championships showed that sporting goods manufacturer Wilson has maintained its position as the overall number one racket of choice at the 2006 Championships, and was again used by reigning champion Roger Federer.

Ladies Singles winner Amelie Mauresmo used a Dunlop racket, although Babolat continues to be the preferred racket of Ladies Singles competitors, with the Men’s Singles dominated by Head. Amongst the juniors, Wilson was the racket of choice.

The battle between Nike and adidas to claim the number one footwear brand continued in the 2006 Championships, and these two brands now account for over two thirds of all player footwear at the Championships.
