This time last year, Frances Tiafoe made a big splash in the sportswear world. The American star became a lululemon Ambassador and key pillar of the brand's tennis division.

Tiafoe and lululemon dazzled tennis fans throughout 2025 and are not slowing down in 2026. Tiafoe is set to appear at the 2026 Australian Open proudly wearing a special lululemon kit design that represents his family's home country of Sierra Leone.

Tiafoe unveiled the new kit during an unboxing on his Instagram channel, which features a dynamic spray-paint design meant to evoke the energy and movement of a tennis ball hitting the court - in a blue, green, and white colorway inspired by the Sierra Leone flag. 

"To represent Sierra Leone within the sport of tennis means so much to me," said Tiafoe. "I'm proud to be able to show love to a country that sits deep in my heart and helped to shape who I am today."

Tiafoe and lululemon collaborated on the design as a source of motivation for the 2026 season. "I'm reminded how blessed I am to have this opportunity to play tennis on a world stage," explained Tiafoe. "This kit is meant to inspire not only me but also those who follow my journey to chase possibility. With passion and desire, you can achieve anything."

Lululemon works closely with Tiafoe through product research and testing to create game-day product that blends both performance and style.

Reflecting on the design process with lululemon, Tiafoe recalls, "I expressed how much my heritage means to me, and the lululemon team immediately started creating something special. Seeing the final design was exhilarating, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I'm super blessed to partner with a brand that supports me in this way."
