Wilson RF 01 Hall of Fame – Roger Federer Special Edition
The Wilson RF 01 Hall of Fame is a special edition of the RF 01 – the tennis racquet developed in close collaboration with Roger Federer. Exclusively engraved on the throat of the racquet are all of Roger Federer’s Grand Slam victories throughout his legendary career.
The racquet combines control, speed, and stability in a frame designed for aggressive all-court play, allowing players to switch seamlessly between powerful groundstrokes, angles, slices, attacking shots, and volleys.
The RF 01 features a 98 sq. in. head size and weighs 300 grams unstrung. This combination provides a stable and controlled response while making the racquet easier to maneuver than the heavier RF 01 Pro. The open 16x19 string pattern offers excellent potential for generating spin and pace without compromising the racquet’s precise character.
The racquet is supplied unstrung but can be ordered strung as an optional extra – make your selection above.
Developed Together with Roger Federer
The RF series was developed together with Roger Federer with the goal of creating a modern tennis racquet for versatile all-court play. The RF 01 is designed for players who do not simply want to stay at the baseline, but also want to step inside the court, attack, and finish points at the net.
The result is a fast and versatile racquet with an excellent combination of power, control, and feel.
SABR Frame Design
The aerodynamic SABR Frame Design is engineered to reduce air resistance and allow the racquet to move faster through the air. This makes it easier to accelerate the racquet head and quickly vary pace, spin, and direction.
The construction is particularly well suited to aggressive all-court players who use the entire court and want the ability to switch between different types of shots.
Braid 45 – Stability and Ball Feel
With Braid 45, the double-braided fibers are arranged at a 45-degree angle. This construction allows the frame to flex more effectively at impact, combining stability with a distinct sensation of the ball staying on the strings slightly longer.
This gives the RF 01 a controlled and responsive feel that appeals to players who want to dictate ball placement and pace.
Feel Fill
The frame is internally filled with PU foam using Wilson’s Feel Fill technology. This helps reduce vibrations and contributes to a more solid and comfortable feel at impact.
Glide Guard
Glide Guard combines the bumper and grommets in a streamlined construction designed to reduce air resistance. The result is faster racquet-head speed and improved maneuverability, particularly during quick exchanges or when attacking and moving forward into the court.
