Best 18x20 tennis racquets of 2019

The string pattern of a racquet influences many aspects of its overall performance and feel. 18x20 is the standard when it comes to a “dense” string pattern. The main benefits of the dense 18x20 string pattern are more control, more feel and longer string life. Advanced players often find they can swing freely without fear of missing; think Dominic Thiem!
