Yonex recently unveiled the Roland Garros kits for stars including Casper Ruud, Elena Rybakina, Hubert Hurkacz, and Caroline Garcia. The kit features two combinations, designed separately for men and women.
The French Open is going to start on May 26 and Nike already revealed a bunch of kits for Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, and Jannik Sinner ahead of the claycourt Slam. Sabalenka was spotted endorsing the women's gear in a photoshoot recently.
Following Nike's announcement, Yonex also revealed its Roland Garros kits. The collection includes two combinations, one of which is an orange-green set. The U-neck t-shirt in this set features a bright orange shade with white and black stripes accenting the collar and sleeve edges.
On the other hand, Ruud and Garcia were spotted in the white-green combination, which includes a green U-necked T-shirt with yellow stripes on the edges, accompanied by white shorts for men, a white sleeveless top, and a green skirt for women. Yonex's trademark 'YY' or 'Yoneyama' logo was at the top left corner of the shirt and in the center of the sleeveless top.
Casper Ruud and Elena Rybakina's form ahead of the French Open
After reaching the finals in the Monte Carlo Masters and winning the Barcelona Open, Casper Ruud struggled to maintain his form in the final two events before the French Open. He advanced to the fourth round in Madrid but was defeated 6-4, 7-5 by Felix Auger Aliassime.
Additionally, Ruud's performance at the Italian Open fell short of expectations, as he lost to Miomir Kecmanović 6-0, 4-6, 4-6 in the second round, despite dominating the first set. The World No. 7 has never won a Grand Slam title in his career and will look to win his first. Despite edging closer, Ruud lost to Novak Djokovic in the final of the Roland Garros last year.
Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina had a deep run so far this season. The 24-year-old has carried her form well after winning the Abu Dhabi Open. She also reached the final at the Miami Open but lost 7-5, 6-3 to Danielle Collins. After winning the Stuttgart Open, the Kazakh faced a semifinal exit in Madrid and had to withdraw from the Italian Open due to an illness. Given her performance so far, Rybakina is considered one of the favorites to win the claycourt Slam.
