The Italian company produces luxury men's clothing, accessories and fragrances. The Z Zegna collection is targeting a younger audience with its wash-and-wear line, making the 21-year-old Zverev a perfect match.

"I am also very happy to be the face of the new Z Zegna collection where I’ll do a lot of work with the amazing designers of Zegna," Zverev writes. "So I really hope everyone loves what we come up with."

Zverev is already a brand ambassador for the luxury Swiss watch company Richard Mille. He enjoyed his first Grand Slam breakthrough in Paris last week by reaching the quarterfinals. A hamstring injury hampered his game in a straight-set loss to Dominic Thiem.
