The link between Rolex and tennis dates back to 1978. The oldest and prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon initiated the partnership between tennis and the Swiss watch manufacturer as the Official Timekeeper of The Championships. Since then, it remarked ‘the beginning of a privileged association between two partners driven by the pursuit of excellence.’

Other ATP men, Milos Raonic, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Grigor Dimitrov, and Dominic Thiem are associated with Rolex. The WTA players Garbine Muguruza, Angelique Kerber, Sloane Stephens, and Caroline Wozniacki have sponsorship deals with Rolex.
