Women’s competition is all about the look, and being able to be dressed by Stella I am always one step ahead of the other girls on court,” says Caroline Wozniacki.
"I love working with Caroline. It’s incredibly exciting that she is such a talented tennis player. She really appreciates the design and the work that goes into her tennis outfits and I think it is really reflected on court, the atmosphere of the collaboration and the energy that she has. And I know from her that she likes looking good and she feels that it makes her play harder and better and that I am very proud to be part of." says Stella McCartney.

Notes to Editors
Successfully grown since 2005, the adidas by Stella McCartney collaboration was launched with a spring/summer collection in February 2005 and remains a unique concept for women. The collection remains deeply rooted in sport and continues to re-define and challenge traditional sport silhouettes. The highly functional sports range consists of apparel, footwear and accessory pieces in Golf, Running, Gym Dance, Gym Yoga, Gym Studio, Tennis, Swim and Wintersports fusing style with top-level technology for maximum performance: The highlight technologies are FORMOTIONTM and CLIMA365 within apparel and the women’s specific running technology in the Supernova Glide and Barricade V within footwear.
CLIMALITE? is a light and breathable fabric that works to keep you cool by conducting heat and sweat away through a combination of heat- and moisture-dissipating materials and three-dimensional design. The special fabric pulls sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric face for quick evaporation, enhancing the body’s natural temperature regulation, keeping you cooler, drier and more comfortable.
BARRICADE V is adidas’ biggest selling tennis shoe and provides unbeatable stability on court for all players on a wide range of surfaces. Featuring adiWEAR? – a durable, non-marking rubber – the Barricade avoids early wear and tear, essential for both practice and matches. The TORSION? System technology provides the perfect mix of midfoot stability and flexibility, while adiPRENE? cushioning ensures maximum comfort during even the longest of rallies.
The adidas by Stella McCartney range is part of the adidas Sport Performance division. adidas is a leader in tennis footwear and apparel supplying, in the past, legendary players such as Ilie Nastase, Rod Laver, Stan Smith, Ivan Lendl, Stefan Edberg, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Justine Henin with the best sportswear for their needs.
