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.

adidas Tennis unveiled the London Line in anticipation of the 2017 Wimbledon Tournament. Players including Angelique Kerber, Simona Halep, Kristina Mladenovic, Dominic Thiem and Sascha Zverev will debut this collection on the iconic grass courts of Wimbledon.
Inspired by insights of tennis players and the uniqueness of the game, the London Line Collection represents the personality shift that players experience when they step onto court; unleashing their ‘evil twin’ during Grand Slam performances.
When designing the collection, adidas started with the conflicting duel personalities of a tennis player – friendly off court but a fighter on court. Achieved through the inclusion of contrasting fabrics, as well as technical design features of the performance collection; the pieces in the collection have a solid opaque front and an open mesh construction back.
The London Line is the first of a striking two part collection. With the Wimbledon range reflecting the light and controlled personality on court, the traditional white apparel used athlete insight to produce a sleek and elegant collection. Part 2 and the dark side of the ‘Evil Twin’ range will be promoted on court later in the season, helping you unleash your evil on court.
The adidas London line is available online at http://www.adidas.com/tennis.
Angelique Kerber
“When you step on court, see the crowd and you hear your name, something happens. Something takes over and it’s all about the win. You know in that moment that you will do whatever it takes, give all you have for every point. It’s what gets you to the top.”
