Two more breakups with Nike: Caroline Garcia, Iga Swiatek join the Asics team

It’s only January 5th and we’ve already had four official breakups with Nike in the WTA world. First, Ajla Tomljanovic left them for K-Swiss, then Maria Sakkari announced partnership with Adidas, and now Caroline Garcia and Iga Swiatek are officially members of the Asics family.

France’s world No.46 Garcia, with a career-high ranking of No.4, will open the season in new gear at the ASB Classic in Auckland, ditching the Swoosh for the “Anima sana in corpore sano” manufacturer.

The 2016 Roland Garros doubles champion will sport the Gel Resolution 8 footwear – the latest update to the Gel Resolution series, loaded with advanced features such as Dynawall and Dynawrap technologies.
