Scottish tennis great Andy Murray is to compete at Wimbledon in an innovative first-of-its-kind Merino wool-based kit by AMC, the premium tennis clothing label by Castore which he jointly owns,<\/strong> in collaboration with The Woolmark Company.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Murray has helped to create each piece, working closely with AMC\u2019s designers and The Woolmark Company,<\/strong> and he will wear the garments during his training for Wimbledon and for all of his matches during the tournament, which starts on 28 June, 2021.<\/p>\n

\"Castore<\/a>

However, ahead of that, today sees the global launch of a five-piece Merino wool retail collection<\/strong> to get fans fired up, including a short-sleeved top, a hoody and a quarter zip-neck warm-up top. All pieces are dual-branded AMC and Woolmark.<\/p>\n

The unique wool blend tennis apparel collection has been engineered with Merino wool using cutting-edge technology to enhance athletic performance,<\/strong> and the kit leans on wool's natural performance attributes - from breathability to thermoregulation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

As well as being gentler on the planet due it being a 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre,<\/strong> a key focus for Murray was creating a more natural playing kit.<\/p>\n

Murray said: \u201cI\u2019ve been testing the kit for a few months now and I\u2019m really happy with how it feels and performs. I\u2019ve worked closely with the designers on every piece and given regular feedback,<\/strong> as the technical performance is vital. It\u2019s also very important the kit is sustainable and I like the fact it looks and feels a bit different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stuart McCullough, The Woolmark Company\u2019s Managing Director, added: \u201cThe launch of this innovative kit elevates Merino wool to an entirely new level of performance<\/strong> on a global stage and demonstrates that Merino wool garments are both stylish and capable of use in an elite sporting environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
