Lacoste has said it will “be signing elegant collections to dress the line judges, the ball girls and boys, ball models, the tournament staff, the volunteers, and the court service.”

The Madrid Open is on the top-tier men’s (ATP) and women’s (WTA) tours, which in 2023 will be held from April 26 to May 7. The events sit on the ATP and WTA 1000 top-level tournaments.

Gerard Tsobanian, president and chief executive of the Madrid Open, said: “We are thrilled to start this new journey with Lacoste. Our DNA has always been based on three pillars: youth, technology, and innovation.

“Lacoste, an absolute reference in the world of fashion in general and sports in particular, shares with the Mutua Madrid Open the pursuit of these three goals.”
