Pros Corner
Mostafa Asal
Mostafa Asal is incredibly quick and flexible on court, with a very attacking style of play and can hit explosive winners from most areas of the court. Mostafa seems to like unwrapping brand new rackets during matches, rather than using freshly strung rackets. Having done some work on his rackets, the average tension on his Tecnifibre 305 strings is around 26lbs on his Tecnifibre Slash 120 Control. So around mid range but fairly tight on a stiff racket with a small head - giving him great control.
Mohamed 'The Beast' Elshorbagy
Mohamed is known for his relentless hitting and 'beast mode' squash. He has the capacity to batter his opponents off court. You will normally find Mohamed using the Tecnifibre 305 1.20mm in the low to mid 20's - giving him a good level of power to suit his game as it's evolved.
Nouran Gohar
Nouran hits one of the best balls on the tour, hitting with relentless, extreme power. Nouran uses my favourite string, Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 1.18, strung in the mid 20's. What's surprising is why more players aren't using this string, given that it produces excellent power and is very comfortable and easy on the arm - important when you're a big hitter.
Roger 'G.O.A.T' Federer
Roger Federer, most likely the greatest Tennis player to walk the earth, is known to use Wilson Natural Gut for his mains strings and Luxilon Alu Power Rough for his crosses; to allow him comfort, power and spin. Most tennis players use different tensions depending on the type of court and climate, so it's difficult to tie Roger down to a specific tension, though 45lbs - 55lbs is a fairly safe bet , with the Natural Gut being strung higher than the Alu Power Rough.
