David Goffin and Gaël Monfils share the same clothing sponsor but not the same expectations for the upcoming Roland Garros. Goffin reached the semifinals in Barcelona and quarterfinals in Monte Carlo and Rome, while Monfils’ best result during the clay season remains a second round in Madrid. How far do you think they can go at Roland Garros?

Kei Nishikori came back after a 5-month injury hiatus and started his 2018 season by playing challenger tour events. He’s had quite a few good results since then on the main tour with a semifinal in New York, a final in the Monte Carlo Masters, and wins over Dimitrov, Cilic and Zverev.
He will try to match his best result in Roland Garros (quartefinals in 2015 and 2017) wearing a similar outfit to the one he wore last year in Paris, but in a different color range. The shirt is available in two colors: white and pink.
It seems Kei’s outfit is only available for sale in Japan.

adidas unveiled its latest collection of high performance wear to be worn on Grand Slam courts – the new Roland Garros Line. To be played on court by top players including Jelena Ostapenko, Angelique Kerber, Sascha Zverev, Dominic Thiem and Jo Wilfried Tsonga.
Defending champion Jelena Ostapenko will return to the courts of her most famous victory, debuting the coral tank with tri-coloured details and a navy skirt. This skirt will also be worn by Angelique Kerber together with a navy top. Kristina Mladenovic will debut the Roland Garros line dress that features a pleated hem and tri-coloured detailing consistent across the entire collection.
“Last year at Roland Garros was a dream – winning my first Grand Slam and showing the world what I can do. For years I watched tennis legends on court, admiring their play and hoping that one day I’d achieve similar success. That’s why I love the new Roland Garros Line – it takes the classic tennis look and makes it new and cool. adidas really strikes the balance between enabling my performance and creating an outfit that’s fun to play in.”
