LONDON (April 3, 2018) British Number 1 and Australian Open Semi-Finalist, Kyle Edmund has signed an endorsement deal with luxury and sports car manufacturer, Jaguar, to become the brand’s latest UK brand ambassador.
Jaguar, the Official Car to the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) are looking to reinforce the brand’s commitment within UK tennis and will work with Edmund on a number of projects in the build-up to The Championships, Wimbledon.
Edmund’s remarkable run at the 2018 Australian Open made him just the sixth British man in history to reach a semi-final of a grand slam. Edmund announced his latest partnership on his social media channels on Wednesday morning ahead of this week’s ATP tour event in Marrakech. Edmund will be looking to build on his successful start to the year in Australia, as we move into the clay and then grass court seasons this summer.
I have always been passionate for cars and I am delighted to be associated with a British brand I admire and look forward to working together in the build-up to Wimbledon. Jaguar’s presence within tennis will provide me with the extra support I am looking for and I hope I can build on the success I had earlier in the year in Australia.
