This weekend, Roger Federer will make his return to the court as he will play in the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Federer will be looking to take home his third Rogers Cup in his career, and he'll have a little help as he's set to debut his new Wilson PF 97 racket.

Federer's new signature tool, the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph tennis racket was in the works for quite some time, as the former #1 player in the world worked closely with Wilson for three years to get all the details exactly right. The racket features a 97-inch head that provides top level feel, a 26-percent wider racket beam for more power, a 10 percent larger sweet spot, and a matte black finish. The racker marks the first Wilson signature racket in over 30 years, with the last one being the Jack Kramer, which just happened to be the best selling racket in history.

Keep it locked for an official release announcement from Wilson, as it's expected to happen soon, and check out Federer put the RF97 Autograph racket to work this weekend at the Rogers Cup.
