Melbourne, AUSTRALIA – Yonex’s 2025 Melbourne Collection stylishly captures how the Japanese sports brand has moved through the past and present and into the future.
From the very beginning, Yonex embraced craftsmanship and exceptional quality, which is reflected in the Collection’s ‘Journey’ design theme. Futuristic and geometric shapes symbolize Yonex’s innovative spirit and progress and the Collection is also a celebration of Yonex’s distinctive and ground-breaking tennis racquets. This is most evident in the shirts, with their back panel design inspired by the O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft) shape, a hallmark of Yonex’s racquet technology. The back panel also incorporates breathable mesh material that ensures superior ventilation and sustained comfort during intense play.
Former Grand Slam champion Elena Rybakina(KAZ) and three-time Grand Slam finalist Casper Ruud(NOR) are among the Team Yonex athletes who will wear the 2025 Melbourne Collection at the first Grand Slam of the year, which starts on January 12th.
With Yonex also creating a new version of the ECLIPSION shoe that matches the 2025 Melbourne Collection, Team Yonex athletes can coordinate their looks from head to toe.
Powered by Yonex’s performance technologies
Style meets innovative performance in the 2025 Melbourne Collection, which blends the ‘Journey’ design with Yonex’s state-of-the-art technologies.
The collection comes with VERYCOOL technology, with the cooling effect of Xylitol helping Team Yonex players to feel fresh when competing in Melbourne. By absorbing heat and perspiration and lowering the body temperature inside the clothes by around 3°C, that technology will also help players to stay comfortable and perform better.
The technologies also include PRECISION MOVE, which allows Team Yonex athletes – as well as other players – to move easily and freely around the court. The clothes in the collection are designed for smoothly hitting the serve and performing other dynamic movements that are unique to tennis, with the special cutting techniques reducing the stress on the arm swing and allowing for quick and smooth steps.
The men’s shirts in the 2025 Melbourne Collection are created using an advanced, high-performance material that is quick-drying, water-repellent, and lightweight. The material dries ten times faster than conventional fabrics and is 25% lighter, which helps players to feel lighter and freer on court and promises a significant boost to performance.
O.P.S. (Oval Pressed Shaft)
Developed by Yonex in 1970, an eliptical-shaped frame cross section that is built for durability and shock absorption, and generates the ideal flex for more spin and control. This innovative technology, which is unique to Yonex, continues to evolve.
