Evian ambassadors Stan Wawrinka, Emma Raducanu, and Frances Tiafoe partnered to help the brand launch the ‘The Mountain of Youth’ ad, which promotes a playful mindset and reignites the brand’s Live Young signature.
The idea behind the advertisement is for the world to discover youthfulness. The advert was shot in a mountain of snow, as Raducanu, Tiafoe, and Wawrinka played tennis in snow rackets under the referee of French golf champion Celine Boutier, a fellow ambassador who plays golf on ice skates.
Raducanu was in her tennis white and breezy skirt, while Tiafoe and Wawrinka glittered in a light pink top and white shorts.
Wawrinka and Maria Sharapova were the first two ambassadors for Evian Water. The British star, Raducanu, joined in 2021, a few months after becoming the first British female to win a Grand Slam in 44 years. In January this year, Tiafoe joined in celebrating the new brand partnership on the eve of his second round match at the Australian Open.
Evian Water has been the official water for Wimbledon since 2008, after it signed a lucrative deal with the event organizers. It has also been a sponsor of the US Open for thirty years.
The brand has been known to champion hydration as an essential element of athletes’ success, both physically and mentally.
