The brand has also announced that tennis player Petra Martic has been signed as the first tennis ambassador.

Just as with golf, the new racket capsule brings a fashionable edge to sport apparel, with contemporary designs using our best performing fabrics, says Karin Elwin, Head of Marketing at J.Lindeberg. We’re thrilled to have Petra represent J.Lindeberg on the court. She’s a great fit for the brand and channels the Aim Higher lifestyle through her attitude, drive and determination.

– I’m extremely happy to be working with a brand that cares not only about fashion and comfort, but sustainability as well. Looking good on court gives me confidence and I love knowing that I can be fashionable without sacrificing any comfort, says Petra Martic. The capsule is colorful with bold prints and cuts that are still sharp and sophisticated, which makes the brand stand out from the rest.
