The French-owned brand was ranked joint first with Wilson as the most used racquet at this year’s tournament – the first time in 21 years Wilson has not held the number one slot outright.
Wilson did maintain its record of having over 30 per cent of the total racquets used at the championship, which has been the case since 2006.
The Oregon-based manufacturer also possessed the largest share of racquets used during the last 16 matches of the adult singles competitions.
Babolat continues to lead the way among female players, while 70 per cent of racquets used by juniors at Wimbledon are now either made by Babolat or Wilson.
HEAD maintained its spot as the third most popular brand among players at SW19.
Yonex, French Open champion Stan Wawrinka’s brand of choice, sits in fourth place ahead of Prince and Dunlop.
SMS INC’s Wimbledon Championships census also includes analysis of footwear and apparel usage in 2015, where multisport giants Nike and adidas dominate.
Nike is the most represented shoe brand by just eight pairs.
Among male competitors, the two brands are tied with the same number of competitors using their footwear.
ASICS was the third most worn shoe, while Babolat climbed to fourth in the ranking.
Nike’s presence among the elite is as strong as ever – it’s still the most common brand in the second week of the singles events.
It was also the strongest performer in terms of apparel, increasing its usage compared to 2014, largely at the expense of adidas.
