The start of the 2025 season has brought significant shifts in tennis sponsorships, with a notable exodus from Lotto. Elise Mertens and Katerina Siniakova have parted ways with the brand, and world No. 76 Lucia Bronzetti has joined the trend, wearing Emporio Armani (EA7) apparel at the Australian Open.

New EA7 tennis apparel
The Italian made a bold statement donning Armani’s stunning burgundy color-block kit crafted from innovative VENTUS7 technical fabric. The tank features a sleek upright collar with a heat-sealed half-zip fastening, offering a modern and streamlined look. Its sleeveless design allows unrestricted movement, while the contrasting color-block print and the prominent EA7 logo on the chest add a bold, sporty flair.
The skirt style includes an elastic waistband and comes with practical matching shorts for a secure and comfortable fit. The EA7 burgundy color-block collection also includes a tracksuit, crew-neck T-shirt, cap, socks, wristbands, and headbands, offering a complete range of gear.
Bronzetti paired her stylish new attire with a strong opening-round performance at the Australian Open. She claimed a 6-2 7-6(2) victory over two-time champion Victoria Azarenka, marking one of the biggest wins of her career. If she overcomes Jaqueline Cristian in the second round, Bronzetti will reach the third round in Melbourne for the first time, matching her career-best Grand Slam result—the third round of the 2023 US Open.
