The Olympic Games are right around the corner, and American fans ready to rep Team USA officially have more stylish choices than ever before.
Led by Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz, the powerhouse American tennis contingent has landed in the Olympic Village and, in between snapping selfie after selfie alongside their fellow global athletes, they’ve also been turning heads in their spiffy new uniforms.

American athletes are set to sail down the River Seine for an unforgettable Opening Ceremony in their signature navy blazers and jeans designed by Ralph Lauren, the official outfitter of Team USA for the ninth year in a row.
But it’s their Closing Ceremony looks that have tennis fans talking this week, after Gauff, Tommy Paul and Emma Navarro took to social media on Tuesday to share a few snaps from what we presume to be a final fitting of an all-white look that felt straight out of a NASCAR race.

Meanwhile, 20-year-old Gauff had fans in stitches as she shared an unveiling of her own with the women’s tennis team, joining Jessica Pegula, Danielle Collins, Emma Navarro, and Desirae Krawczyk in a TikTok video.
Set to the tune of a viral sound asking for “attitude”, the players showed off their racing outfits in their own unique ways—with Danielle Collins’ dance moves eventually stealing the show.
The men’s team consisting of Fritz, Chris Eubanks, Austin Krajicek, Marcos Giron, Tommy Paul and Rajeev Ram, on the other hand, kept things simple with a classic group shot.
Part of Ralph Lauren’s Team USA collection, which also includes a retro-cozy 'Villagewear' set for casual lounging around the grounds, both the Opening and Closing Ceremony outfits were “proudly made in American factories.”
The white, moto-inspired jacket ($998), which is crafted in New York City and made from US-grown cotton, features classic racing aesthetics including a stand-up collar with snap buttons and a number of “Team USA” patches that evoke the look of sponsor logos. The set also includes matching white denim moto-pants, a polo shirt ($248), socks ($22), a red, white and blue cap ($198) and more.
“Our team is dedicated to showcasing the best of American tailoring,” said Gabrielle Ferrara, COO of Ferrara Manufacturing who assembled and manufactured the racing jacket. “So much care and attention to detail goes into those garments, and they truly are an amazing representation of American craftsmanship on the world stage.”
Former Roland Garros finalist Gauff and world No.11 Fritz are the top-ranked Americans in Paris, hoping to lead Team USA to gold medal glory after a strong national showing during the red-clay swing. The men’s team is coached by 2012 Olympic doubles gold medalist Bob Bryan, while the women are coached by Kathy Rinaldi, the USTA’s head of womens’ tennis.
The singles competition at the Olympic tennis event starts on Saturday, July 27, and will take place at Roland Garros.
