“With so many notable relationships across the sports landscape, Wilson is truly the ball for all regardless of sport,” says Jason Collins, Global General Manager of Wilson Racquet Sports. “One of Wilson’s most iconic official ball partnerships is with the US Open. We are so proud of our 45 years in Flushing Meadows and look forward to continuing this great tradition in 2023.”

During New York’s marquee tennis event, the leading racquet sports brand will offer a wide range of new products in-store, online and at its pop-up on the grounds at the US Open. Wilson will offer its latest US Open collection of rackets and accessories, as well as “Noir,” a limited-edition drop inspired by the classic black and white Film Noir era – available in Blade V8, Pro Staff V14, Ultra V4 and Clash V2.

In apparel, Wilson’s latest sportswear drop will feature on-and-off the court looks for men and women, in colorways inspired by the best of NYC tennis – tennis ball yellow, classic navy and field green. Wilson will also have an exclusive assortment of commemorative US Open graphic tees, and a limited-edition Billie Jean King tee, celebrating the 50^th anniversary of the Battle of the Sexes and equal prize money.

“It’s been an amazing experience working with the Wilson team to influence the designs of my gear from head-to-toe, for each match,” says Marta Kostyuk, the WTA 2023 Austin champion and current no. 37. “I can’t wait to take the court in New York, with my new, favorite ‘tennis ball’ yellow dress that is hard to miss!”
