Swiss sports brand On proudly shared their happiness as they sponsored the on-court outfits of the world’s number-one WTA star, Iga Swiatek. Now Swiatek’s outfit from the same brand received much flak during her match in the first round of the Australian Open 2024 tournament. However, keeping that aside, this Swiss brand is still raising its support for the Polish tennis prodigy.
Tennis legend Roger Federer has been an investor in this brand since 2019. Till last year, Swiatek had ‘Asics’ as her outfit sponsor, and after that, she shifted to ‘On’. In fact, On’s list of notable sponsors also showcases America’s rising star, Ben Shelton.

Recently, the official Instagram page of ‘On’ shared an on-court moment from Iga Swiatek’s match. Sharing the photo, they added- “Starting the season in pink while winning her 17th consecutive match.” Along with the caption, ‘On’ added a pink heart and sparkle emojis for the Polish tennis star to congratulate her on her recent success.
On also came forward in support of Swiatek when fans criticized her white outfit. The brand said that Swiatek’s all-white outfit is to protect her from the scorching heat of Melbourne. Recently ATP star Jack Draper threw up after winning his match against Marcos Giron. This caused alarming anxiety among players and fans about their health and performance.
