Dunlop partners with British federation in 3 year deal


Global rackets and balls brand Dunlop has stepped into a multi year arrangement to deliver equipment and technical support to the Lawn Tennis Association, the governing body of tennis in Great Britain.

The LTA had previous partnered with Babolat but Dunlop have continued their investment in similar partnerships and will provide stringing services at LTA tournaments as well as equipment bearing the LTA kite mark.

Jamie Murray is already a Dunlop ambassador as well as having worked closely with the LTA. Of the partnership he says, ““Having top quality equipment is vital for any professional tennis player and Dunlop rackets have always served me well throughout my career. This looks like a great partnership and I’m sure Dunlop will provide a great service to the LTA and Tennis in Britain over the next three years.”

Scott Lloyd, LTA Chief Executive, said: “This is another exciting partnership and we’re looking forward to working with Dunlop – an organisation that shares our vision to open up tennis – over the next three years. Following the long-term AMC apparel deal we announced earlier this month, this is another example of British tennis’ appeal to high profile brands that produce quality products, and demonstrates how we are further enhancing our commercial programme to support tennis and padel in Britain.”

Frans Swinkels, Dunlop International Europe Ltd, Managing Director, said: “We are extremely proud to become the new Tennis & Padel Hardware Partner of the LTA, one of the most prestigious Tennis Associations across the European region. The partnership will allow us to showcase our complete range of Dunlop balls, rackets, bats and equipment, addressing the avid tennis and padel player throughout the UK.

“We look forward to supporting LTA Members, LTA Accredited Coaches and registered places to play during the term. Throughout the partnership we will work with the LTA to develop a range of equipment suitable for their national programmes, encouraging more junior and adult players on to the court. These programs build upon the overlapping values embodied within the LTA and Dunlop – tennis and padel are for all.”
