[@tmass1]

i did my first one today. only took 2 and a half hours.

[@Robertye112]

Takes me 1 hour at full speed.

[@Juandinggong]

I string once in a while and I have timed myself several times around 15-17 min

[@huntrichardson]

Been stringing rackets for 25 years. This is just for fantasy. You need to allow the string to stretch for several seconds before clamping it. Otherwise the tension varies from string to string by a couple of pounds. A good player would never want anyone to string his racket in under 13 mins. Besides he'd have 6 or 7 spare rackets so he wouldn't need it done so fast..

[@user-lk4lx9je4y]

The later part is what I was thinking as well, on the former I have no experience, but just presumed that it would have been a rush job of one person did it in that short a time.

[@edgarO16OO]

oh this video is from today...
what is the song please ?

[@user-lk4lx9je4y]

But, actually, pro's have like 6 rackets with them for a single match, so this would not have been needed right?

[@Jacob-ju6em]

No, its just an ad. Zverev comed with 8 or more rackets.

[@asantesamuel13]

They come with racquets pre-strung but sometimes they don't have one ready that fits their exact needs during the match.
