La Roche-Posay Global Brand Advocate Jannik Sinner Wins US Open Championship!
NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- La Roche-Posay is thrilled to announce that Jannik Sinner, the #1 tennis player in the world1 and La Roche-Posay Global Brand Advocate, has won the US Open Championship! Sinner faced off against fellow La Roche-Posay Sun Safety Advocate Taylor Fritz, the first American US Open finalist in 18 years and currently ranked #7 in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals2.
Sinner and Fritz's long-term collaboration with La Roche-Posay was announced earlier this year, aiming to address the lack of protection and education around UV rays, leveraging La Roche-Posay's pioneering expertise and iconic sunscreen range, Anthelios. Playing year round outdoors, serves as the perfect partners in cause to engage around photoprotection, which is a major – yet underestimated – matter of public health. La Roche-Posay has been leading the charge in educating the public on proper sun safety habits, supporting skin cancer prevention, and providing hundreds of thousands of people with free access to annual skin checks since 2010.
The brand returned to the US Open this year as its official sunscreen sponsor for the third year in a row with a sun safety education booth at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. In addition to providing over 600,000 complimentary sunscreen samples, the brand offered access to free dermatological advice from New York State board-certified dermatologists. The brand also sampled Anthelios sunscreens at product-sampling kiosks throughout the grounds, with full-sized sunscreens for sale at US Open Collection stores.
La Roche-Posay proudly partners with some of the world's most exceptional athletes to further raise awareness on the importance of sun protection, especially for those who participate in outdoor sports. In addition to Jannik Sinner and Taylor Fritz, the brand has established long-term partnerships with professional tennis players Madison Keys, currently WTA ranked #243, and Frances Tiafoe, ranked ATP #164, to assist in educating the public on proper sun safety habits and the importance of annual skin checks.
