Tennis Racquet or Tennis Racket: Understanding the Spelling in Australia

Is it 'Tennis Racquet' or 'Tennis Racket'? In Australia, both spellings are seen, but we've noticed a growing trend towards 'Tennis Racket.' So we would like to take a quick moment to address these differences in spelling.

The debate between 'Tennis Racquet' and 'Tennis Racket' stems from historical and regional language variations. Traditionally, 'racquet' has been the preferred spelling in Australia and the UK, reflecting older English and French influences. On the other hand, 'racket' is more commonly used in the United States, aligning with the American English spelling conventions. Over time, these distinctions have blurred, especially with the influence of global media and the internet, leading to a more mixed usage worldwide.

It is especially noticeable that Wilson, being a USA brand, use the term 'Racket', whereas all other brands currently use the spelling 'Racquet'.
