Who sponsors Iga Swiatek?
The Polish player has several sponsors after she shot to limelight at the 2020 French Open, by winning her maiden Grand Slam. Her sponsors include Asics, Red Bull, Tecnifibre, Lexus, and Rolex. She is seen wearing the Asics apparel and playing with the Tecnifibre racquets. She was earlier spotted wearing Nike shoes, before she moved to Asics.
In 2021, the Pole was rewarded with an upgraded deal and endorsement from Rene Zandbergen, a senior brand manager at Asics, who billed her as the next future of tennis.
Swiatek signed a contract with Tecnifibre at end of 2020. She previously used Prince Textreme Tour 100 racquet. Along with Swiatek, Red Bull- energy drink also sponsors other tennis stars, Dominic Thiem and Matteo Berrettini.
Swiatek created history as a 19-year-old by winning the French Open singles title by defeating Sofia Kenin in straight sets. In the process, she became the first women player from Poland to win a Grand Slam title. The Warsaw girl also became the youngest French Open winner since 1992. She also joined a list of tennis greats- Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and Chris Evert to have won Roland Garros before they turned 20.
Swiatek won the Italian Open in May
This year too, Swiatek has been in sparkling form on the dirt. She has played nine matches, with eight wins on the clay. After losing in the third round in Madrid, Swiatek won the tournament in Rome a few weeks ago.
She is the defending champion in Paris and is one of the favourites to win the French Open for a second time. It is also not surprising that Swiatek is also a fan of Rafael Nadal and has often been spotted talking and clicking pictures with the King of Clay.
The World No.9 is currently coached by Piotr Sierzputowski. He has been working with Iga Swiatek from 2016. For his efforts, Sierzputowski also won the award for the best coach of the year in 2020.
