Roddick develops clothes with Lacoste

AUSTIN, Texas, June 3 (UPI) -- U.S. tennis star Andy Roddick is teaming with French apparel company Lacoste for a clothing line including polo shirts, shorts and track clothing.

Roddick, of Austin, Texas, said the sportswear line, which will range in price from an $85 pair of shorts to a $185 jacket, will serve as his wardrobe whenever he is on the court, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

"On the tour, we practically live out of a suitcase," Roddick told Women's Wear Daily. "When packing, function will always win over style, which is why I am so impressed with this new collection."

The tennis star, who dropped out of the French Open due to a shoulder injury in May, has had an endorsement deal with Lacoste for the past six years.
