Serena Williams rips through Toronto draw with new Wilson Blade v7 racquet

Serena Williams didn’t even face a break point in the Rogers Cup quarterfinal against soon-to-be-number-one-again Naomi Osaka and the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s crucial tool is the seventh version of the Wilson Blade racquet.

This month Wilson launched the new 2019 Blade series, designed to help attacking tennis players truly blow away their competition. The seventh version of the Blade features an evolved three-part colorway on top of a lightweight, maneuverable frame.

The new Blade racquets are equipped with FeelFlex technology, giving players a more connected-to-the ball feel, while complementing their modern, more vertical swing path.
