Tennis icon Stefanos Tsitsipas joins Canali as Global Ambassador, bringing his signature strength, elegance, and individuality to the world of Italian tailoring. A bold move that redefines modern masculinity on and off the court.
In a move that seamlessly blends the worlds of high-performance sport and high-end tailoring, Canali proudly announces international tennis champion Stefanos Tsitsipas as its new global brand ambassador. This partnership marks a defining moment in the brand’s ongoing exploration of contemporary masculinity — one that values precision, poise, and personal expression as much as performance.
“You have to wake up thinking about tennis and be extremely disciplined in what you do… It never gets easier.” — Stefanos Tsitsipas, Former World No. 3 and ATP Tour Champion
Tsitsipas, known for his elegant one-handed backhand and cerebral approach to the game, is more than an elite athlete. He is a modern aesthete — Greek by birth, European in spirit, and global in his outlook. His presence on and off the court reflects a quiet strength and cultivated individuality that align effortlessly with Canali’s 90-year legacy of refined craftsmanship.
“Stefanos stands for more than performance,” says Stefano Canali, President and CEO. “He represents values we believe in deeply: dedication, composure, and the constant pursuit of excellence. He brings depth, integrity, and a strong sense of identity — qualities that align naturally with our vision.”
There’s a palpable shift happening in menswear right now — a return to structure, subtlety, and sartorial integrity. After years of fluid silhouettes and boundary-blurring aesthetics dominating the fashion conversation, we’re witnessing the resurgence of modern conservatism in men’s style. It’s not about nostalgia or regression, but about refinement: tailoring that speaks softly yet commands attention, craftsmanship that values permanence over provocation. In many ways, this shift mirrors the broader cultural climate — a conservative administration currently in power has helped reframe the narrative around masculinity, tradition, and presentation. And no brand captures this moment more eloquently than Canali.
Canali has always stood for quiet luxury — the kind that doesn’t need to shout to be heard. With over 90 years of Italian craftsmanship behind it, the brand has mastered the art of dressing the modern man: not with gimmicks or trends, but with garments that are impeccably constructed, timelessly relevant, and deeply rooted in identity. In an era where so much of fashion feels performative, Canali remains grounded in authenticity. Their tailoring isn’t just about fit — it’s about form, function, and the subtle power of presence. This is menswear for men who know who they are.
As a lifelong tennis enthusiast, I was thrilled — and frankly, impressed — to see Canali name Stefanos Tsitsipas as its new global ambassador. Tsitsipas is a rare breed in the world of sport: fiercely competitive, yet deeply introspective; classically trained, yet unmistakably modern. His one-handed backhand is a thing of beauty — a nod to tradition in a game that’s constantly evolving. Off the court, his long hair, striking good looks, and thoughtful demeanor make him a compelling figure — not just as an athlete, but as a cultural icon. He’s not trying to be anyone else, and that authenticity makes him the perfect face for a brand like Canali.
By choosing Tsitsipas, Canali is making a bold, deliberate statement. This isn’t about chasing trends or courting controversy — it’s about aligning with a man who embodies elegance, discipline, and individuality. In a world that often confuses loudness with relevance, Canali and Tsitsipas remind us that true style is about confidence, not conformity. It’s a partnership that feels less like a marketing move and more like a manifesto — a declaration that modern menswear can be powerful, masculine, and unapologetically refined.
This collaboration follows Canali’s recent partnership with FC Internazionale Milano, further deepening the brand’s connection to sport not just as competition, but as a refined form of self-expression. In Tsitsipas, Canali finds a kindred spirit — a man who understands that elegance is not about spectacle, but about rhythm, restraint, and presence.
Through exclusive editorial content, official appearances, and bespoke campaigns, Tsitsipas will embody a new expression of modern elegance — one that moves, breathes, and performs with grace under pressure. He will wear Canali creations that mirror his own values: quietly confident, impeccably constructed, and timelessly relevant.
From the atelier to the arena, this partnership is a celebration of excellence in all its forms — a reminder that true style, like true sport, is a matter of character.
