Roger Federer has written a new page in tennis history the only player to achieve 20 Men’s Singles Champion Grand Slam victories. To honor his 20th Grand Slam title, Wilson Sporting Goods has created a Collector’s Edition Platinum Racket Package, complete with a special Pro Staff RF 97 Autograph racket painted in a metallic, glittering platinum-colored paint. The color platinum is widely used to mark the achievement of 20th milestones.
Special features of each exclusive platinum Pro Staff RF97 Autograph include: Symbols representing each of Roger Federer’s 20 Grand Slam titles adorning the inside of the hoop; subtle design nods to the number “20” incorporated throughout the design motif; an illustrated version of Federer’s signature appears prominently on the throat of the racquet.

Only 20 of these commemorative Collector’s Edition Packages individually numbered ‘1 – 20’ have been created and is priced at $20,000 apiece.
