This racquet, which bridged the gap between wooden racquets and the eventual domination of graphite, was used by the great Billie Jean King and most famously of all, by Jimmy Connors.
Released by Wilson in 1967 but designed in 1953 by the legendary French player Rene Lacoste, the T-2000 was made from stainless steel racquet and had a head size of 67 square inches, weighing in at 385 grams strung, with a balance point of 34 centimetres and a string pattern of 18 by 18.
It took Lacoste eight years to obtain a patent for the T-2000 and two years later, Pierre Darmon of France was the first player ever to use it in a Grand Slam, at Wimbledon in 1963. Its increased head size offered more power and more control than its wooden rivals.
King made the Wilson T-2000 famous in 1967 when she won the US Open and Connors began playing with the T-2000 when he was still a teenager. With his trusted sword, Connors won his first Grand Slam title in 1974 at the Australian Open and two more the same year, at Wimbledon and the US Open.
