American tennis star Taylor Fritz has joined luxury fashion brand Hugo BOSS as its global brand ambassador, the company announced on Wednesday. The 26-year-old ended his eight-year partnership with Nike to enter into a fresh new deal with the Germany-based fashion brand.

Taylor Fritz also shared his thoughts on this partnership with the Germany-based brand. The American tennis ace said that he is excited to land a deal with a brand that believes in “being your own boss.”

I’m excited to join the BOSS family. In both my tennis career and my personal life, I strive to deliver 110%, embrace new challenges, and stay true to myself – so I’m inspired by the brand’s values of living a self-determined life and ‘being your own BOSS,’. I look forward to bringing my best, most BOSS self to the court in sportswear that combines smart aesthetics with exciting, performance-driven features.
Taylor Fritz said in the statement released.
