NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2014-- "Inventor! That's what I'll have printed on my business card; I've been inventing all my life!" - Rene Lacoste/1964
Global lifestyle brand LACOSTE successfully launches its next invention this week – a free downloadable mobile application named LACOSTE City Tennis. This new platform continues LACOSTE's mission of making tennis more accessible and encouraging everyone to play the competitive sport. LACOSTE partnered with one of the world's leading sports and entertainment agencies, Lagardere Unlimited, to bring the unique concept to digital life.
