American brand Tommy Hilfiger has signed Rafael Nadal as the latest face for its underwear and tailored ranges.

Starting from the Fall 2015 season, the Spanish tennis player will be the global brand ambassador for Tommy Hilfiger underwear and Tommy Hilfiger Tailored collections. The first campaign starring Nadal will be shot in early 2015 in his native Spain, with the images breaking online and in print worldwide in autumn.

"Rafael Nadal has been a longtime personal friend and supporter of our brand, and I’m continuously inspired by his dedication and passion for his sport," said Tommy Hilfiger. "Rafael embodies an effortless sense of style that exemplifies and reflects our brand spirit – he’s confident, fun and cool."

Widely acknowledged as one of the sport's greatest players, at the age of 24 Nadal became the youngest athlete to complete the “Grand Slam” and is only the second male player in the world to have completed the 'Career Golden Slam' (winning the French Open, Australian Open, US Open, Wimbledon, and Olympic gold).
