Click to view rubbers and blade of Sibel
Both very pretty young woman from Turkey
Victas website above says she uses the dumbest racket (identical rubber both sides here also on a dumb blade)
This is against human bio mechanics .
Very few humans can use identical rubbers & layer composition on backhand and forehand (Maybe less than 10%).

This makes sense especially from sponsoring viewpoint either.
Victas could promote two rubbers instead on one rubber if she has different rubbers on forehand and backhand.
This is true even if she still uses a dumb racket with same type rubber both sides
Even if she uses same rubber in matches. Noone is going to check LOL

Other Victas staff Koki Niwa & Benedict Duda are using different rubbers on backhand & forehand.

This makes lot more sense from player perspective as well as sponsoring perspective

Fabiola Diaz who I think is Adriana's siter, is also using the wrong backhand rubber.
Adriana's other sister Melanie who also plays for Puerto Rico.
I believe they have a fourth sister
Wide (stiff) pips is strictly a forehand rubber. Never a backhand rubber.
She would be better off even with a medium pimple rubber.
Anything is better on backhand than Wide (stiff) pimple rubber

Honestly, I disagree. More precisely, I agree that pimples like Spectol S1 should be used strictly for flat hitting with the forehand, but something like Spinfire Soft and VO102 will work well on the backhand if the person is a natural two-winged looper, because these rubbers are not much different from the inverted, but still provide a some spin contrast.
