Motorola grows patch partnership roster with rising tennis star McCartney Kessler

As the tennis world turns its eyes to the grass courts of Wimbledon, Motorola is excited to announce a new partnership with No. 30 ranked US women’s tennis player McCartney Kessler.

Debuting at the most prestigious tournament on the tennis calendar, the iconic Motorola “batwing” logo will serve as the exclusive commercial patch on the front of Kessler’s match uniform. Through this strategic, multi-year collaboration, the 25-year-old will also connect with fans across North America through the lens of the world’s #1 selling flip phone – the motorola razr.

“There’s no better way to strengthen Motorola’s presence in women’s sports than by partnering with one of tennis’ brightest rising stars – McCartney Kessler – and showcasing our shared passion for performance and connection,” said Rudi Kalil, President of Motorola North America. “Kessler’s rapid rise on the WTA Tour has been nothing short of remarkable, and I’m thrilled that Motorola’s innovation can help bring her story to even more fans around the world.”

“Motorola has a rich history and presence within the tennis community, partnering with some of the game’s all-time greats,” said McCartney Kessler. “I’m overjoyed to be a part of that story and can’t wait to carry the Motorola brand with me as we work to inspire the next generation of women athletes – on and off the court.”

After making her Tour-level main draw debut in Auckland in early 2024, Kessler quickly followed up with her first Grand Slam match win at the Australian Open. That summer, she broke through in a big way—winning her maiden WTA title in Cleveland, capturing a WTA 125 title in Puerto Vallarta, and breaking into the Top 100 for the first time, peaking at No. 63 in August. She kicked off 2025 by winning her second WTA title in Hobart, then added another in Nottingham, climbing to No. 32 in the rankings. With back-to-back seasons of breakout results, Kessler is proving she belongs among the game’s rising stars.
