Jack Draper has signed a sponsorship deal with ASICS, following in the footsteps of his 'idol' Novak Djokovic. The British tennis star recently defeated Djokovic in a thrilling three-set match at Indian Wells, with both players wearing ASICS footwear.
Draper, who switched to ASICS Solution Speed FF 4 shoes after parting ways with Nike last year, was announced as a global ambassador for the brand. He lost his spot as British No.1 to Cameron Norrie after dropping to 26th in the world rankings but hopes to reclaim it with a good run in Miami this week.
Long-term ASICS ambassador Djokovic withdrew from the ATP Masters 1000 event due to a shoulder injury. Speculation about his retirement has been dismissed by former world No.1 Jimmy Connors, who said only Djokovic himself should decide when to quit.
