Just watched the Swiss Open and found that.

I was wondering how long they was playing with Babolat.

Scott,
What are you talking about? They are still using Yonex racquets at the Swiss Open.

Please see Thierry Jayet's pictures,

Scott said they switched TO Yonex... meaning they were using babolat before and now yonex at that tournament.

:eek: whoops,

but Eng Hian was definately using Ti10 last year AE. I haven;t seen them play since then so I didn't realise they had switched inbetween.

As far as I know, they have been using Yonex, from AE 2002 onwards.

There's a photo where they were really wearing Babolat jersey and using its racket. I also watch a match on cable a few months ago where they were wearing and using the same things!!

Well, that is dated August 21, 2002 which was half a year ago. Doesn't explain the few months ago? hmm.

Yodums,

I can't remember exactly the name of the event I watched on cable. You know cable sometimes relays a match which was already finished a few months ago at the time it was shown on the screen.

Anyway, they did use Babolat and switched to Yonex. When?

It could have been that, yeah... But you're in Hong Kong. I would have assumed it would have shown it immediatly in Asia :)

To everybody with sharp eyes,

could you tell me whether the socks eti is using has the old symbol or not? It seems that she is using a new pair of old symbol socks. is it an optical illusion or is it true?
