This collection did not fail to make admirers of Gilles Simon or even Jelena Ostapenko react with its unconventional design.
Usually very sober, the outfits sported by tennis players are experiencing a bold turnaround here.
Heads of series
The Greek Stefanos Tsisipas, 4th player in the world and finalist of the 2021 edition, the Kazake and 16th in the world Elena Rybakina or even Gilles Simon… Many athletes wear this collection during the tournament.
A huge showcase for the brand which wishes to highlight its ecological commitment.
“Wearing the Adidas SS22 collection on the court is a way of showing that the fight against plastic waste is an issue that we all have to fight against as members of an international community,” explains Elena Rybakina.
