Uniqlo announced today that Novak Djokovic, the world’s number one tennis player, will be its new global brand ambassador. Under the five-year contract Djokovic, who has been under contract with Italian brand Sergoi Tacchini, will wear Uniqlo clothes on and off the court. The contract includes a soon-to-be released casual sportswear line being developed with former Issey Miyake designer Naoki Takizawa.
