The five-year pact begins in 2020. Wilson is also the official ball of the US Open.

Wilson will provide a new co-branded, high-performance tennis ball designed specifically for the famous clay courts of Roland Garros. The new ball will be used for all matches during Roland-Garros and for various pre-tournament activations starting in 2020.

In addition to equipment provided for the tournament, Wilson and the FFT will launch a range of co-branded, premium Wilson/Roland Garros products including tennis balls, rackets, string, tennis bags, and accessories.

“We are very proud to welcome Wilson as an official partner of Roland Garros and the French Tennis Federation," French Tennis Federation President Bernard Giudicelli said. "This partnership, which is built for the long term, is based on shared values such as performance and innovation.

"This double signing with Wilson, a world-renowned brand, will increase Roland Garros’ international exposure while encouraging French people to take up tennis, particularly young people, who represent the future of our clubs.
