The 2012 French Open was a showcase of talent as some of the world’s greatest players vied for glory before a world of captivated tennis fans. It was also a showcase of innovation and style as pros put their trust and faith in Oakley performance eyewear.
The No. 6 seed, Samantha Stosur reached the semifinals at the Roland Garros championship, and she used RadarLock™ Path™ for cutting-edge clarity. With the convenience of Switchlock™ Technology, she took advantage of our premium lens array to adapt her vision quickly and easily.
In the sunny conditions of the Open, numerous other athletes depended on Oakley performance essentials ranging from RadarLock to Fast Jacket™, and even our coveted Flak Jacket™ sunglasses.
In women’s doubles, Nuria Llagostera Vives and partner Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez were up against another Oakley athlete, Anastasia Rodionova, in the quarterfinals – pitting the best optical technology against itself.
Janko Tipsarevic was there with all the personality that makes him so enjoyable to watch. He’s a diehard devotee of Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses with Oakley True Digital™ technology (the key to improved motion detection and better recognition of large images). Yaroslava Shvedova also depended on Oakley Rx technology as she strove to reach the semifinals.
Many longtime wearers of premium Oakley sunglasses were there, as well as newcomers like Paolo Lorenzi and Fernando Verdasco who bring fresh passion to the game.
With all the demands these athletes put on themselves, their approach to training and competition exemplifies the Beyond Reason™ attitude that achieves greatness. We are honored by their respect of the way Oakley takes the same approach in achieving the very best in optical technology.
