     the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open, in the same calendar
     year.  Therefore, those four tournaments are also called the Grand
     Slam events.

 3.7       Pro Tennis Players' Racquet, String, and Clothing Information

                  Originally Compiled by Natasha Austria
                      Revised by Christopher Smith
                        Last Modified: 28 Nov 95

                       G = gut
                       S = synthetic
                      MP = mid plus
                      OS = oversize
                   xx/yy = mains (ver)/cross (hor)
                     n/a = info not available

Note about string tensions: many of the players do not stick with one
tension, & often vary them depending on playing surface, weather, etc.
"xx-yy" is the estimated tension RANGE in which a given player is known to
have their racquets strung.  String tensions are in pounds (lb.)
 
Though most are, not all players are necessarily contracted with the
company(s) manufacturing their equipment (particularly strings) or their
clothing/shoes.
 
The string/tension information is probably out of date and may not be
included in future versions of the FAQ.
