ASICS extends successful long-term partnerships with world #6 Gael Monfils

ASICS has today announced a new multi-year agreement with French tennis star Gaël Monfils, a partnership which has seen his ranking rise from the ATP World top 100 to #6.

Monfils became an ASICS worldwide tennis ambassador in 2013 and has since earned himself a steady top-10 position.

Known for his dynamic play and agility around the court, the 30 year old, had his best year yet in 2016 with his biggest title win in Washington D.C., a U.S. Open semi-final place and qualification for his first season-ending championships.

The extension to his contract will hope to see continued success for Monfils and ASICS, the fastest growing tennis brand in Europe[1] and number one tennis footwear brand in France, Germany, Italy and Spain[2].

The Frenchman will resume his contribution to the development of new tennis collections, offering his unique insight on the needs of top-level players, as well as his personal style and providing feedback to the designers at ASICS.
