Slazenger is pleased to continue its longstanding association with The Wimbledon Championships, as the official ball sponsor for the tournament.

This celebrated affiliation is now in its 106th year, making Slazenger's contract with The All England Lawn Tennis Club the longest partnership in sporting goods history.

The Great British sports brand is renowned for its premium sports equipment, designed to meet the most demanding playing requirements and this, coupled with a commitment to continual development and strong heritage fits perfectly with the Wimbledon ethos.

Since 1902 Slazenger has supplied the balls for Wimbledon contenders and its team of experts work alongside the top sports scientists at Loughborough University to guarantee The All England Lawn Tennis Club's high standards are adhered to.

Slazenger will supply 52,000 balls for this year's tournament, each of which will be tested for weight, bounce and compression, ensuring the world's greatest tennis tournament retains the ultimate ball technology.

As one of the world's greatest sporting brands, Slazenger has reinforced its reputation in the tennis field with its dedication to cutting edge product design, commitment to youth development and endorsements of top international players such as Tim Henman.

Its relationship with the tournament complements this and Slazenger is looking forward to cementing its place in Wimbledon tradition for many years to come.
