Daniil Medvedev, wunderkind of international tennis – currently ranked 2nd worldwide – and video game enthusiast, entered the Miami international tennis tournament wearing the AG-LT21 Ultra, showcasing its ‘futuristic’ and high-performance combo at the crossroads of tennis and gaming.

‘The look is new, different from what we are used to seeing on the courts. Just like any tennis player, I expect comfort as well as performance from my footwear, and I was seduced by the ease with which I was able to change direction while remaining very stable on the court.’ – Daniil Medvedev
