28 year old, former number 1 tennis player, Andrew Stephen aka “Andy Roddick”, announced earlier this week that he will be launching his own line of sportswear for Lacoste.

The star has been endorsing the brand already for six years and now that he is designing a line of his own, he’ll be exclusively wearing it to every match from now on. The new line features shorts, jackets, polos, and track pants where prices will range from $85 for a pair of shorts, to $180 for a track jacket.

Roddick admitted that being on the road all the time for tours, is most likely going to harm your wardrobe and that’s why his new collection will not only be fashionable, but highly functional in terms of packing. "On the tour, we practically live out of a suitcase," Roddick told Women's Wear Daily. "When packing, function will always win over style, which is why I am so impressed with this new collection.”

Andy withdrew from the Open de Nice and French Open due to a shoulder injury last month which should leave him with plenty of time to heal and design this highly anticipated line.
