After briefly using a Yonex racquet and then returning to his Tecnifibre frame, Fernando has officially signed with Dunlop racquets.
Fernando signed an international contract for rackets, strings and accessories, while also agreeing to play a key role endorsing Dunlop’s junior talent identification programme – D-Squad.
“Becoming a brand ambassador for Dunlop is a very proud moment for me,” he said. “I look forward to joining the great players already associated with the brand. I am continuing to work hard and with the help from Dunlop I hope to be able to make this my most successful year to date.”
Barry Leach, MD of Dunlop Sport said: “Fernando is a world class addition to Dunlop and exemplifies the quality we look for at the brand. He plays an exciting style of tennis and, if he can build on last year’s performances, I would expect him to be a main fixture in the ATP top ten this year.”

Great! Just bought a Dunlop as a ‘spare’, suddenly it seems a lot cooler! (or maybe that should be hotter)? Let’s hope it works for him. Does it come with a built in line-finder and DF prevention system? Maybe it can be programmed to fly up and hit him around the head occasionally, whenever his posture droops below the acceptable level of cocky self-confidence that we wish we didn’t love so much? Something to think about Dunlop… and while you’re at it, please could you have a word with Adidas and get them to dress him in some shorter shorts and tighter shirts? Thanks.
