Buy the Nox AT10 Genius if you're a strong technical attacker, otherwise the Babolat Air Viper Woman is the smarter lighter option.
Two rackets aimed at very different players despite both carrying tour-style branding. The Air Viper Woman at £130 is a lighter, more manageable Viper specifically tuned for players who want spin and bite without the full 375g weight. The AT10 Genius 12K (365-380g, diamond, high balance, 12K carbon) is Agustin Tapia's actual signature frame and absolutely uncompromising.
What to consider:
If you're a strong, technically capable attacker, the AT10 Genius is in another league. For the majority of players looking for a lighter aggressive frame that still spins the ball, the Air Viper Woman is the easier daily driver. Don't buy a tour racket because Tapia uses one.
