The first Grand Slam tennis tournament of 2016 has kicked off, and players are rocking fresh looks for the new year.
Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova have been wearing head-to-toe Nike for more than a decade. Rafael Nadal, who suffered his second career first-round loss, to fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco on Tuesday, has also been wearing Nike virtually his entire career.
With fifth seed Nadal knocked out, other top players, including No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka and Tomas Berdych have a smoother path. Djokovic wears Uniqlo apparel and Adidas sneakers. Adidas also recently signed Berdych.

At the 2015 U.S. Open, Murray — who signed an endorsement deal with Under Armour in January 2015 — wore Under Armour apparel with Adidas Barricade sneakers. Murray continued to wear Adidas until Under Armour created a tennis shoe that met his specifications. Murray now competes in Under Armour footwear.

No. 1-ranked female player Serena Williams had a stellar 2015, including being just a match away from nabbing a calendar-year Grand Slam until she lost to Italian Roberta Vinci at the U.S. Open. She was named “Sports Illustrated” Sportsperson of the Year. Williams continues to wear NikeCourt sneakers.
