Thought this may be of interest to you, an uptodate list of some of the top ATP and WTA players, and the rackets they use/types of strings and a rough idea of the tension. I think the tensions may vary slightly depending on where they play, so this list was taken from this years Wimbledon and Montreal events- may be different at this years US Open.Look at the difference though for example between Marin Cilic at 61lbs and Marcos Baghdatis at 46/51 lbs. 60lbs is about 27.2kilos. My rackets are strung at 24 kilos, which is about 53lbs- the same as Juan Carlos Ferrero..that will do me!
