Rackets I’ve loved #7: Yonex Super RD Tour. Ponytailed Chilean, Marcelo Rios, was briefly world number one back in 1998. He was temperamental and explosive, a thrill to watch. Fitting then that his Yonex - a brand that really took over tennis post-Seles, pre-Babolat - was in a violent, volcanic colourway. I had one briefly, but it didn’t play as well as it looked.
