Tennis world No1 Andy Murray and world and Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner joined forces atop La Grande Arche de La Defense in Paris ahead of the former’s assault on a maiden Roland Garros title.

The Under Armour athletes took part in a special photo-shoot at the picturesque location where they had a unique training session that showcased the shared technical values of judo and clay court tennis – patience, defence and momentum-swinging attack.

Being number one is about never standing still, you can never believe you have nothing new to learn and must always push to find whatever can take your game forward. So, it was really interesting to see how Teddy prepares for the biggest events and pushes the boundaries of his own training, not just physically but also mentally,” said Murray.
