Lacoste lost (or let go?) some of the players who represented the brand. Samantha Stosur signed with Asics, and Wawrinka went to Yonex. However Lacoste replenished its American representation adding John Isner to its main ambassador Andy Roddick.
It was unexpected that Andy retired in a match with Lleyton Hewitt, but though he was not successful in this year's Australian Open, he released a collection with Lacoste, and the clothing we saw Andy in was actually from Lacoste Andy Roddick signature collection.
