Tennis Australia announced a five-year extension of its partnership with official Australian Open outfitter Lacoste, through until 2018.

Lacoste will remain the official supplier of tournament apparel to linesmen and women, ballkids and chair umpires, and will continue to deliver retail spaces on Grand Slam Oval, Margaret Court Arena and the Rod Laver Arena concourse.

Tennis Australia CEO Steve Wood said the five-year extension of the agreement was an asset to the event. “We are very proud to be continuing our partnership with Lacoste through until 2018,” he said.

CEO of Lacoste Asia Pacific Frank Cancelloni said the new five-year deal was symbolic of the brand’s ongoing commitment to tennis in the region.

“It is a further demonstration of Lacoste’s attachment to tennis as well as the voluntary and active policy of our brand in this sport, and of its commitment to keep investing in the Asia Pacific region.”

Lacoste has a long-standing association with tennis, endorsed by brand ambassadors including Richard Gasquet, Jeremy Chardy, Mats Wilander, Henri Leconte and Guy Forget.
