Novak Djokovic, the world's No. 1 ranked tennis player, signed today with Uniqlo, a Japanese clothing retailer that recently opened an 89,000 square-foot store on fifth avenue in New York City.

According to the press release, Djokovic will debut his new Uniqlo kit at the French Open tournament at Roland Garros, which kicks off here on May 27.

In April, the clothing brand signed Kei Nishikori, ranked No. 18 in the ATP. Djokovic cut ties with Sergio Tacchini less than four years after signing a 10-year deal with the Italian fashion designer.
