Renault’s relationship with tennis continues to evolve into something far more enduring than a traditional sponsorship. Since becoming a premium partner of the Roland Garros French Open in 2022, the brand has steadily woven itself into the fabric of the sport. Extended through to 2031, that partnership signalled a long-term commitment to excellence, performance and the values that define top-level tennis.
Now, in 2026, Renault is accelerating that ambition by supporting a new generation of elite players while reinforcing its wider social responsibility agenda. The brand currently backs seven international tennis players, combining established stars with rising talents who represent the future of the game.
Welcoming the next generation of Renault ambassadors
Four new players join Renault’s ambassador family in 2026, each bringing a distinct identity and competitive edge to the partnership.
French prospect Loïs Boisson, just 22 years old, embodies the promise of the next wave of national talent. Turning professional in 2021, she captured widespread attention with a breakthrough run at Roland Garros in 2025, confirming her potential on the international stage and positioning herself as one of France’s most exciting young players.
Also flying the French flag is Arthur Fils, a powerful right-hander whose rapid ascent has marked him out as one of the ATP Tour’s brightest prospects. Turning professional in 2021, Fils reached a career-high singles ranking of world No.14 in 2025, underlining both his maturity and long-term promise.
From Argentina, Francisco Cerúndolo brings experience and consistency. Now 27, he has established himself as a formidable force on clay, with multiple ATP titles and strong performances at the highest level. His inclusion reflects Renault’s desire to represent global excellence and competitive spirit across all surfaces.
Italy’s Flavio Cobolli completes the quartet. At 23, he is one of Europe’s most promising emerging talents, known for his energetic and attacking style of play. After building momentum across Challenger and ATP tournaments, Cobolli represents the drive and dynamism of tennis’s next chapter.
A strong foundation with established champions
These new ambassadors join a group of athletes who already exemplify Renault’s values on and off the court.
Wheelchair tennis icon Diede de Groot remains one of the most dominant figures in the sport’s history. With 42 Grand Slam titles to her name, she returned to competition in 2025 following surgery after the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. Victories at the Tram Barcelona Open and the French Riviera Open confirmed her remarkable resilience and ongoing excellence.
French star Ugo Humbert continues to build his reputation as one of the tour’s most dangerous left-handers. Renowned for his speed and precision, he reached the final of the Rolex Paris Masters in 2024 and followed it with multiple titles, including a second triumph at the Open 13 Provence in 2025.
Completing the lineup is Casper Ruud, Norway’s three-time Grand Slam finalist and a two-time French Open runner-up. With 14 ATP titles across all surfaces, Ruud is widely respected not only for his consistency but also for his sportsmanship and fair play.
Give Me 5: tennis as a vehicle for inclusion
Beyond elite competition, Renault’s commitment to tennis is anchored in a broader social ambition. Launched in 2022, Give Me 5 is the brand’s international inclusion programme aimed at making sport, and particularly tennis, more accessible to young people from disadvantaged communities.
Since its inception, the programme has led to the construction or renovation of 14 tennis courts across France, Argentina, Brazil, Togo, Norway and the Netherlands. Each project is actively supported by Renault’s ambassadors, ensuring meaningful local engagement and long-term impact. Collaborations with artists further transform these courts into vibrant community spaces, giving each location a unique visual identity.
Expanding beyond tennis
Building on its success, Give Me 5 now extends across Renault’s wider sporting partnerships. In rugby, the programme has supplied 93 full kits to young female players in Seine-Saint-Denis, helping remove barriers to entry at grassroots level. In football, Renault has worked with Paris FC to create KOP 5, the first supporters’ stand designed specifically for five-year-olds, making matchday experiences more inclusive for families.
Today, Give Me 5 is fully integrated into all of Renault’s sports initiatives, reinforcing the brand’s long-term commitment to equal access, youth development and social inclusion.
As Arnaud Belloni, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Renault, explains:
“Give Me 5 is more than a sporting partnership for Renault. We are making practical investments in the future of tennis, supporting a new generation of talented players and making this sport more accessible and inclusive for young people around the world. Our seven ambassadors play a key role in transmitting values, inspiration and opportunity to the next generation.”
With elite performance, long-term partnerships and meaningful community investment working in harmony, Renault’s presence in tennis is no longer just visible. It is purposeful, global and built to last.
