Most Expensive Tennis Racket

Diamond Tennis Racket

By winning in sets of 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) over Kim Clijsters, Amelie Mauresmo won the final of the Diamond Games tournament recently in Belgium. Mauresmo’s trophy cabinet will now be as impressive as much of her play in the tournament, with the addition of a diamond-studded tennis racket trophy.

The golden tennis racket weighs in at 8.8-pounds and has been studded with over 1,700 diamonds, for a value of $1.3 million dollars. The racket is the prize for anyone who can win the tournament three times within 5 years.

If Venus Williams had entered the Proximus Diamond Games last year in 2006, she would’ve had a chance to win this expensive tennis racket, but last year she withdrew from the event 2 days prior.

8.8 pounds that is way to heavy to play with but you can just move it and blind your oponet with the 1,700 dimonds

You’d be STUPID to play with that. What if the dimonds fell of.
