Wilson and Roger Federer Debut Second Chapter of RF

Wilson Sporting Goods Co. announces the next chapter in its partnership with global tennis icon, Roger Federer: the RF Classics Collection by Wilson®. Launching June 27th, the new collection pays homage to Federer’s legacy and global influence, drawing inspiration from the iconic nCode® racket he used during his dominant run from 2004 - 2006. The RF Classics Collection features two limited-edition rackets, developed in collaboration with Federer. One is a modern interpretation of the nCode design, reimagined on the RF 01 which released last year. The other is a faithful reissue of the original, offering fans a rare chance to own a piece of tennis history.         

“Continuing to work with Roger has been extremely special for all of us at Wilson,” says Jason Collins, Global General Manager of Wilson Racquet Sports. “From building innovative collections to celebrating tennis heritage, we’re proud to partner with him in honoring his impact on the game and inspiring future generations.”

The RF Classics Collection by Wilson includes:

• RF 01 Pro Classic: A modern take on the nCode aesthetic, featured on Federer’s RF 01 Pro frame. The SABR-inspired design supports versatile performance with effortless spin, pace and direction changes. Comes with a molded RF racket cover ($350 USD).

• nSix-One Tour 90: A re-release of the original racket Federer used during his 2004–2006 reign, authentically reconstructed for today’s player or collector ($299 USD). 
  

“I have so many great memories with my Wilson rackets, but the nCode® will always stand out,” says Roger Federer. “It means a lot to bring this piece of my career back for new generations of players and fans.”

 The RF Classics Collection will be available globally starting June 27 at Wilson.com and select Wilson retail stores, timed to commemorate Roger’s historic run and honor his legendary success on grass courts. For more information, please visit Wilson.com and follow @wilsontennis on social media.
