Luxilon has been recognized as the leading provider of stringing services by being appointed as the official racquet stringer of the 2006 year-ending Sony Ericsson WTA Championships in Madrid, Spain.

Luxilon now provides player services to both the Shanghai ATP Masters Cup and the Madrid WTA year-ending championship finals.

“The selection of Luxilon to provide stringing services to this prestigious event underscores the dominance of Luxilon strings in professional tennis,” said John Lyons, business Director for Wilson, the global distributor of Luxilon. “More pro players use Luxilon than any other brand of string and Wilson is proud to complement its cutting-edge range of products for the serious tennis player through its close association with Luxilon.”
