ATP – Shanghai > “Tennis returned in 1910. In addition to manual scoreboards, the next tournament will see the return of wooden rackets, you will only be able to wear white and tie-breaks in sets will disappear”, jokes journalist José Moron

The organization of the Shanghai Masters 1000 is visibly attached to ancient traditions.

While the circuit has long taken the turn towards technology, whether for the draw or even the refereeing, a rather unusual image was shared by one of our colleagues concerning the display of scores on the tournament location.

An old technique which visibly inspired the Spanish journalist, José Moron: “In addition to manual scoreboards, the next tournament will see the return of wooden rackets, you will only be able to wear white and tie‐breaks in sets will disappear. »

It must be admitted that the use of wooden rackets by current players would be really interesting to observe.
