“I think it’s important to use my position as a tennis player to raise awareness for our planet and what we can do to protect it. That’s why I look forward to wearing the new adidas SS22 collection made in part with Parley Ocean Plastic or in part with recycled materials. The collection is an example of what we can create when we’re inspired to help end plastic waste.”

FROM INSIGHT TO ACTION
The SS22 Tennis Collection is another step adidas is taking on its journey to help end plastic waste, and its athletes are sharing this commitment.
For adidas athletes, what they wear on the court is not only performance attire but an expression of their personal style and beliefs.
“As part of the next generation of tennis players, I see a possibility for tennis to be more than a sport, but a platform for change. Our sport reaches and inspires so many, so I think it’s important to stand up for what we believe in. Wearing the SS22 collection by adidas on court is one way of showing that helping end plastic waste is something we need to address together, as an international community.”

When I think about the future, it’s not just about my future as a tennis player, but also about the future of the planet. . That’s why I wear the new adidas SS22 collection made in part with Parley Ocean Plastic or in part with recycled materials – to send a message that we can all do our part by helping to end plastic waste.“
