SkillsOne visits Top Serve Tennis, where we chat to Steve Harris, a racquet stringer. He shows us whats involved in racquet stringing - the detail, the machines, the patterns and the result.
He tells us about what it's like stringing raquets in tournament season - such as at the Australian Open. He's even travelled overseas being a racquet stringer - to the French Open and other international tournaments!
