Previously, a number of tennis pros have signed a deal with the luxury brand Rolex. One of the early and longest deal would be that of the Swiss champ Roger Federer who signed the largest endorsement deal of that time in 2006. Other players’ list include the likes of the Austrian Dominic Thiem, Greek player Stefanos Tsitsipas, Spaniard Garbiñe Muguruza, the French Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Swiss player Belinda Bencic, the German champ Alexander Zverev, the Argentine Juan Martin del Pedro and Russian player Karen Khachanov.
