Dunlop tennis racket

Dunlop is a historic name in the sporting world, particularly renowned for its development and manufacturing of tennis equipment. The brand was originally established in the United Kingdom as part of the Dunlop Rubber company, founded by John Boyd Dunlop. Over the decades, it became synonymous with professional tennis, with its rackets being used by legendary players throughout the 20th century.

Today, the brand's sporting division is owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries, a major Japanese conglomerate. While the brand has British origins, high-performance rackets like the one shown are typically engineered in Japan and manufactured in various specialized facilities across Asia, specifically China and Vietnam. The 'D' logo visible on the strings is the iconic emblem of the brand, which continues to be a major player in racket sports, including tennis and squash.
