“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.”
