Player Profile
Current Equipment — 2025–26
At 28 kg (62 lbs), Sinner strings notably higher than the 2026 ATP average (~50–54 lbs). This is intentional: his elite racquet head speed generates so much pace that he needs extra control from a tighter string bed.

Playing Style & Technique
Sinner is built around relentless, flat-to-topspin power from the baseline. His forehand is his primary weapon — struck with a semi-western grip generating exceptional pace with heavy topspin, keeping the ball deep and neutralising opponents quickly. His two-handed backhand is equally aggressive and one of the most reliable on tour, allowing him to redirect pace rather than just block it.
His serve has evolved significantly since 2023. He transitioned from a platform stance to a pinpoint stance, adding measurable first-serve speed and consistency — a key reason he broke through to multiple Grand Slam titles.
How his equipment supports his style: The stiff full-poly Hawk Touch setup at 28 kg gives him control to play aggressive without losing depth. The 100 sq. in. head size gives a larger strike zone for consistency under pressure. His racquet is customized heavier than stock — matching his preference for a stable, plow-through feel.
🤔 Should you copy Sinner's setup?
Sinner's 28 kg full-poly setup is an outlier — it works because of elite swing speed that most club players don't generate. Using the same tension on full poly risks a dead, jarring feel with reduced power and potential arm discomfort. However, HEAD Hawk Touch as a string choice translates well to amateur level — it's softer and more arm-friendly than strings like Luxilon ALU Power. Try it at 22–25 kg (48–55 lbs) for a Sinner-inspired result without the strain.
