UK-based tennis brand MANTIS has signed former British number one Greg Rusedski (pictured) as a brand ambassador.
The new addition to the MANTIS team comes on the back of a successful first full year in the market, which has also seen the company become the official tennis racquet and ball partner to the AEGON Masters Tennis Championship.
Rusedski, a US Open finalist, former world number four and Great Britain Davis Cup star, will play a major role in future product development and an active part in the testing of new MANTIS ranges.
The Wimbledon quarter finalist will be using a MANTIS Tour 305 racquet in his day-to-day role as a talent and performance ambassador for the Lawn Tennis Association.
Rusedski, who also works as a tennis pundit on TV, says: “I am delighted to be joining the MANTIS team as an ambassador for this exciting new british brand.
“The passion, attention to detail and love of tennis was apparent from the first conversation I had with the guys at MANTIS.
“Great racquets just have that feel about them the moment you pick them up for the first time, and for me it was definitely the case with the MANTIS frame.”
Martin Aldridge, founder and managing director of MANTIS, adds: “The signing of Greg Rusedski as brand ambassador demonstrates our commitment to the expansion of MANTIS in the coming years.
“Greg’s expert knowledge and his experience in the game at the highest level will be invaluable moving forward as we continue to extend our portfolio of high quality products.”
