Wilson [K] Factor dominates Wimbledon

Wilson [K] Factor racket technology took the Wimbledon Championships by storm this year as no fewer than 11 players appeared in finals and six took titles with [K] Factor rackets, including the first British singles title winner for 24 years.

Wilson players took six of the tournament's nine titles in the Women's Singles, the Men's and Women's Doubles, Junior Girl's Singles and Junior Girl's and Boy's Doubles - all with [K] Factor rackets.

Venus Williams captured her fifth Wimbledon singles title and seventh Grand Slam playing with the [K] Blade Team racket, after overcoming sister Serena who uses the same racket in a compelling final. They then combined to win their third Wimbledon doubles title since 2000 and the tenth Wimbledon title between them.

Venus also broke the Wimbledon record for the fastest serve during the event at 129 mph.

In the Junior Girl's singles, 14-year-old Laura Robson won her first major title playing with a Wilson [K] Blade 98 racket. It was the first British singles win at Wimbledon since Annabel Croft took the same title in 1984.

Other [K] Factor rackets victories included Daniel Nestor with the [K] Six.One 95 winning the Men's Doubles with Neand Zimonijic against Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyet, both playing Wilson [K] Six.One rackets; Polana Hercqog using her [K] Blade Tour to win the Junior Girl's Doubles title; and Tsung Hua Yang taking the Junior Boy's Doubles title with his [K] Blade Tour racket.
