Tennis fans on social media once again blasted apparel manufacturer On after seeing…
The disrespect is just insane”;”Roger Federer, can’t you make a call??”- Fans disapprove of On Running ‘recycling’ Iga Swiatek’s kit for Joao Fonseca.
Tennis fans on social media once again blasted apparel manufacturer On after seeing Brazilian prodigy Joao Fonseca wearing the same outfit as Iga Swiatek.
Swiatek has been wearing On’s kits and footwear since March 2023 after ending her association with Asics. On had also roped in Ben Shelton and Joao Fonseca at the same time as Swiatek.
Fonseca faced a 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-4 loss at the hands of Britain’s Jan Choinski in the first round of the Estoril Open on Wednesday, April 3. He notably faced another defeat on Wednesday at the ATP 250 event in doubles.
He had paired up with Portugal’s Joao Sousa in the doubles draw. The duo faltered in the first round itself as they lost 6-4, 4-6, 10-5 to Sam Verbeek and Marcelo Demoliner.
For the tennis fans on X (formerly Twitter), however, Fonseca’s loss didn’t cause as big a disappointment as his outfit for the day did. Fans complained that On has given him the same privilege it gives Iga Swiatek by sending him the same kits as her.
