YONEX continues its partnership with the Chinese Tennis Association to jointly promote the new development of tennis in China.

In January 2026, following discussions and an agreement between the Chinese Tennis Association and YONEX, a four-year strategic partnership was formed. YONEX was appointed as the only official match ball brand for events hosted by the Chinese Tennis Association, as well as the exclusive authorized official stringing service provider, using the YONEX TB-TS3 and TB-TS4 balls for competition.

Since 2022, YONEX has collaborated with the Chinese Tennis Association for four years. The two parties have renewed their partnership and will continue to leverage their respective strengths to elevate Chinese tennis to new heights. This contract renewal marks the continuation and deepening of their strategic cooperation. Looking back over the past four years, the strategic partnership between YONEX and the Chinese Tennis Association has grown closer, consistently providing professional products and technical support for various tournaments organized or hosted by the association.

Driven by the Chinese Tennis Association, the domestic tennis competition system has steadily developed and improved in recent years. The association organizes or hosts events across multiple international and domestic levels, including major international tournaments held in China under ITF (International Tennis Federation), WTA (Women's Tennis Association), and ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals), as well as large-scale national competitions such as the National Tennis Team Championships, National Youth Tennis Team Championships, and tennis events at the National Games, alongside various youth tennis tournaments. Together, these events form a crucial platform for the advancement of competitive tennis in China.

Over the past four years, a period marked by significant progress in Chinese tennis, Chinese players have consistently achieved outstanding results on the international stage. Both women’s and men’s tennis have seen the emergence of numerous players with international competitiveness. The domestic tennis environment has become increasingly vibrant, with growing participation numbers, reflecting a flourishing development trend.

Since entering the Chinese market in 2015, YONEX has been dedicated to promoting the popularization and development of tennis in China. Its support extends beyond sponsoring professional and amateur events at various levels nationwide to key stages of youth tennis development, while also providing strong backing to many outstanding Chinese tennis players. By offering professional equipment and advanced technological products, YONEX has earned a solid reputation among tennis enthusiasts and professional athletes alike.

Looking ahead to the new cooperation period, the partnership between YONEX and the Chinese Tennis Association will deepen further. Both parties plan to engage in closer collaboration across various tennis competitions and activities. This renewal is regarded as another significant milestone for YONEX’s commitment to the Chinese market, with both sides looking forward to jointly advancing the cause of tennis in China to new heights through continued cooperation.
