Dunlop is very highly regarded by the professionals and I’m looking forward to working with them, and to participating at the creation of new products.”

“The partnerships with both Patrick and the Mouratoglou Academy further showcase our commitment to tennis at the highest level,” said Masahiro Asahino, Head of Racket Sports for SRI. “Both will be key in our future positioning and will help us recruit the best young talent from across the world through Patrick and the Academy. We’re excited to be working with Patrick and utilising his expertise in our future product developmen

Mouratoglou, who has previously coached, among others, Grigor Dimitrov and Jeremy Chardy, will endorse the Dunlop CV 3.0 racket.
