Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton are the latest tennis players to have been included in the ‘ON’ roster
Swiss sportswear brand ‘ON‘ has roped in Tennis stars Iga Swiatek and Ben Shelton as the latest additions to their roster. WTA No.1 Iga Swiatek has become the first female player to join ON.
Swiatek is a three-time Grand Slam Champion champion – French Open 2020, 2022 and the US Open 2022. She is the first player representing Poland to win a major singles title and a total of 12 WTA Tour-level titles and is certainly a big addition to ON’s roster.
Swiatek is understandably elated and looking forward to reaching new heights through this partnership. “I’m very excited to be the first female player to join with ON. And truly thrilled how On’s Lightning innovation team works and adapts technologies to meet the demands of athletes, supporting their careers”, she said after the deal was officially revealed. Besides Swiatek, ON has also roped in American tennis star Ben Shelton, who is considered a future superstar by most experts.
Let us take a look at some of the reactions from fans on social media.
“I’m shocked she split from Asics so quickly. She did have quite a mixed bag with their kits but with being the first player to wear On clothing is definitely a huge deal”, wrote a fan.
“I hope they open up a tennis line of clothes”, commented another fan.
“Kits never looked good on her or any of their athletes imo. She was worried number one and set records and still not given a special kit? ASICS fumbled the bag”, read a comment.
“On should sponsor Ons. Such a missed opportunity”, joked another fan.
Another fan wrote: “Good. I couldn’t with her ugly asics outfits any longer.”
