Lacoste Celebrates Novak Djokovic in Landmark Event at the Great Wall

 

The tennis great was also joined by brand ambassador Wang Yibo, one of Asia’s most influential young artists.

Lacoste recently made a bold statement in fashion and sport by hosting a landmark event on September 29 at the Great Wall of China. Paying tribute to Novak Djokovic, Lacoste fused the tennis legend with one of the world’s most iconic landmarks. Held at Juyongguan, this event transcended spectacle—it celebrated perseverance, heritage, and innovation, core principles that both Lacoste and Djokovic represent.

Djokovic, a long term Lacoste collaborator and brand ambassador, stood at the center of this extraordinary encounter. Often hailed as the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in tennis, he embodies the brand’s spirit of determination and excellence. The event paid homage to Djokovic’s unrivaled career and mental fortitude, while also symbolizing Lacoste’s relentless pursuit of breaking boundaries. “For over 90 years, we have been driven by the values of innovation, creativity, and surpassing oneself,” said Thierry Guibert, CEO of Lacoste. This historic moment, which merged the world of sports with a UNESCO World Heritage site, epitomized Lacoste’s vision of uniting tradition with modernity.
