We hope you agree the colors go so well with the red clay and beautiful Paris in spring. I want to thank the team for their hard work, and I look forward to seeing everyone again very soon.”
Roger Federer model: The Roger Federer model makes a simple yet powerful impression, its main color of bright red reminiscent of the famous clay courts, with dark blue accents at the collar, sleeves, and base.

* The 2021 French Open commences Sunday, May 30 DRY-EX made from recycled polyester: One of the sustainability initiatives being pursued at UNIQLO is the development of DRY-EX products made of polyester fibers recycled from PET bottles. This unique material was made possible through partnership with Toray Industries, one of the world’s top fiber and materials innovation companies. New filtering technologies to remove impurities in recycled PET bottles allows for the production of high-quality specialty fibers. The new material retains the moisture-wicking functionality of DRY-EX, while providing a level of comfort that allows players to perform at their best.
