Here's a new video by Prince featuring Gael Monfils discussing and pimping out his new EXO3 Rebel stick.
La Monf is seen doing his usual acrobatics around the court while seeming so genuine and natural (not to mention huggable) during the interview as he regurgitates the great benefits of his new racquet.
Are you listening Shrieka? It's possible to be GENUINE and NATURAL while doing your job - you may want to ring up the Frenchie for some lessons.
Just sayin'.

Thanks to the team over at Prince for sending me the newest TV spot for their just launched EXO3 line of performance racquets starring the incredibly athletic Gael Monfils.
The commercial shows La Monf doing what he does best (and I don't mean his French kissing ways.) He takes to the court with his new stick and slides, glides, and cracks an impressive Sampras-style leaping overhead.
PS - This one's for Sara, you Frenchie lover you!

Prince has officially launched the much-anticipated EXO3 line of performance frames here in the US, which they teased us with late last year.
The line's patented Energy Bridge and Energy Channel advanced technology provides the racquets with a larger sweet spot for more power, 25% increase in spin compared to traditional construction, dramatically reduced frame vibration by up to 50%, and increased control and stability on every shot. The EXO3 provides up to 26% more energy back into the ball.
Availability for the new sticks stateside includes:
Attention all Prince lovers - and, no, I'm not talking about the stiletto boot-wearing, symbol-loving, guitar-playing purple one.
The tennis brand is gearing up for something big in 2009 and have released this viral video to tease us silly.

Ladies, gentlemen, and those in between - please meet the stunning Asia Muhammad, a junior standout from Andre Agassi's Las Vegas Academy. Asia is making her pro debut at the US Open today. Congrats!
And what prize does a 17-year old get on the biggest day of her newborn professional tennis career? Why a pink Prince racquet adorned with her initial "A" made out of $1,750 worth of diamonds above her grip:
How fancy. But word to the wise: you're in the bright lights of New York - watch your back...and your racquet!
