Whether you play tennis or not, the tennis ball will probably play a part in your summer. And if you’re anything like us, you’ve undoubtedly lost one, or two dozen, over the fence or—heaven forbid—in nan’s agapanthus.

The thing is, tennis balls can take several hundred years to break down. So, to celebrate the ASB Classic, we created a world first. A tennis ball that’s not only biodegradable, but has a native seed inside—ensuring every tennis ball lost over summer is a win for New Zealand.
