Nice spot Tom! I’ve added them to the site!

I reckon Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan is using a Dunlop Venom 115. Ryan Cuskelly appears to be wearing Asics rather than Adidas. Love your work – keep it up.

Great call on the Venom 115 Bopper! I have updated. And oops, updated Cuskelly’s shoes too.

Hi Pierre. Having a good look at Hisham Ashour’s racket, I was thinking that those are O-ports or Speedports along the top of his racket, and that there is a P on the strings. So I think it’s a Prince but I don’t know what type.

Thanks Bopper I think you’re right. Steve suggested might be an O3 Black, which looks about right.
