On Wednesday, Czech tennis player Tomas Berdych announced on Twitter that he would be partnering with Adidas. Adidas made the official announcement today, just as Berdych is hitting the court for the first time wearing the athletic brand at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open.
The No.6-ranked player has signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with Adidas and will wear the brand head-to-toe.
“I’ve always been a fan of Adidas and admire their dedication to tennis,” he said. “I’m very excited to now be part of one of the most iconic brands in sports history and look forward to putting in a performance worthy of the three stripes.”
Other Adidas tennis athletes include Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic, who wears Adidas footwear only.
