This extraordinary offering features a custom pro stock Dunlop tennis racquet owned and match-used by tennis icon John McEnroe during the later years of his storied career. The racquet was utilized in matches and during the World Team Tennis circuit from 2010-2012.
Crafted from graphite and tailored to McEnroe's exact specifications, this racquet represents the precision and craftsmanship that defined his legendary playing style. McEnroe, known for his fiery personality and unmatched finesse on the court, relied on this racquet in his post-tour years as he continued to dominate exhibitions and team tennis events.
The racquet was acquired in April 2012 by Vince Schmidt, a former professional tennis player and esteemed coach. With over 30 years in the sport, Schmidt runs the Jensen-Schmidt Tennis Academy for Down Syndrome alongside tennis greats Luke and Murphy Jensen. Through his extensive connections in the tennis world, Schmidt developed a close friendship with McEnroe and received this racquet directly from him.
