“Asics is renowned all over the world for their top technical footwear and apparel that they combine with their commitment to helping people of all walks of life live a lifestyle of a sound mind in a sound body,” said the 26-year-old Bencic, who is wearing the Asics Women’s Spring Match Dress in the promo photo. “This fits well with my own personal viewpoints and I am excited to step onto the court in my Asics gear with that knowledge in the back of my mind.”
Bencic will sport Asics Solution Speed FF 2 tennis shoes. The lightest, fastest and most flexible footwear in the company’s range is a perfect choice for the Swiss’ all-court playing style which relies on speed and tactical precision.
