Rafael Nadal wears NikeCourt AeroReact Rafa top, Flex Ace shorts and Air Zoom Cage 3 footwear as he competes for his 11th title in Paris. The designers chose bold blue that contrasts with the orange clay.

“As a design team, we wanted Rafa to feel powerful on the clay, and the flooded color really helps that because it’s overwhelming; it makes him look like a force of nature,” says Abby Swancutt, Apparel Design Director for NikeCourt.

The NikeCourt Paris Tennis collection is available now on nike.com and at select retailers.

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 (quarterfinals 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.
