Best Babolat Gear on the Court

By: Tracy Rolling

The Eiffel Tower might be the most iconic landmark in the world, but Babolat is one of the most recognized brands on the tennis court. From the company's humble beginnings in Lyon, France, Babolat has been a pioneer of the game. Credited for making the first set of natural gut strings, Babolat soared in the late 1970’s and early 80’s with its endorsement of Swedish tennis player, Björn Borg. With the Babolat brand in his hands, Borg experienced more than 100 victories, including 11 Grand Slam titles. Today, Babolat is endorsed by pros like Carlos Alcaraz, Fabio Fognini, and Sofia Kenin. Here’s a list of their best sellers!
