‘Rumours squashed’ Lacoste unveils Novak Djokovic’s outfit for the upcoming clay season
Novak Djokovic
Novak Djokovic and Lacoste have a long history together. In 2017, Lacoste, which is owned by Swiss group MF Brands, announced a multi-year sponsorship contract with Djokovic. According to Forbes, these sponsorship deals bring approximately $30 million each year for the men’s world number one.
But, the leading Novak Djokovic sponsor earlier unveiled that it plans to “review” the events that led to the tennis star’s deportation from Australia, highlighting the potential fallout for athletes who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
However, all the speculations and predictions came to an end as Lacoste has shared Novak Djokovic’s outfits for the upcoming clay season, ensuring that their partnership has been stretched further. Also, the luxury sportswear brand tapped into its strong tennis roots with the appointment of Venus Williams as a global ambassador, making the announcement with a photoshoot and spread in British Vogue.
Novak Djokovic is all set to stage a comeback in Monte-Carlo
Novak Djokovic has announced that he will begin his clay season at the 2022 Monte Carlo Masters on his website. After withdrawing from the Masters 1000 events in Indian Wells and Miami, the Serb announced his participation in the tournament. Despite being unable to go to the United States due to a lack of vaccination against COVID-19, Djokovic was in the Indian Wells Masters draw until the very last minute. He later announced on Twitter that he will not be doing the Sunshine Double in the United States.
However, the Serb is now able to play the Monte Carlo Masters and defend his championship at Roland Garros after French authorities declared that they will relax their ban on COVID-19 vaccine passes for entry into the country.
