Tecnifibre Junior Tennis Racquet Tempo Iga 21 (2026)

The Tecnifibre Tempo Iga 21 is a 21-inch junior racquet weighing 198 g, made for players around 6 to 7 years, roughly 115 to 125 cm tall. The aluminium frame keeps the weight low and the price sensible, which is exactly right at this stage - juniors grow out of a length every year or two, so the racquet needs to be easy to swing and easy to replace.

Tempo Iga is Tecnifibre's junior line built around Iga Swiatek, who plays the brand's frames on tour. The junior racquets carry the same look as the senior Tempo range, which matters more to a young player than most adults expect - they want the racquet their favourite player uses.

What age is the Tecnifibre Tempo Iga 21 suitable for?

It suits juniors around 6 to 7 years, roughly 115 to 125 cm tall. Height matters more than age - if the racquet reaches roughly to the wrist when held at the side, the length is right.

Does it come strung?

Yes. It is supplied factory-strung and ready to play. Recommended tension is 42 to 46 lbs (19 to 21 kg).

Is it light enough for a young player?

Yes. At 198 g it is light enough for a junior to swing properly rather than drag through the ball, which is what builds good technique.

How do I know if my child needs the next size up?

Stand the racquet on the ground next to them with the head down. If their palm rests comfortably on the butt cap, the length is right. If they have to reach down, move up a size.
