I am a junior player born in 1991, currently ranked about 150 ITF, and with 1 ATP point (about 1500 ATP ranking). I am also ranked in the top 5 for my age group in Australia.

What are my chances of getting a sponsorship with Babolat (1st choice) or Head (2nd choice) or Wilson (3rd choice), and if so, what do you think I will be able to get from them?

Cheers,

I very seriously doubt this is stephen. As a junior davis cup team member for Australia equipment should not be a problem. If this is stephen and you are on tw asking these types of questions get rid of your coach and any one else that is helping you and get some real representation.

Yea, I am going to definitely have to agree with the person that posted before me. Stephen Hoh won a ITF Grade 5 event over a year ago. Therefore, I am going to guess that Stephen already has racquet and other sponsorships. If not, then he is doing a good job of avoiding every rep from every company. It just doesn't seem that a 15 year old that is this good would be coming on a TW message board for suggestions on how to get a sponsorship.

Also, people that come on this website are usually very, very reluctant to mention there actual name in an open thread. It is just not very wise.

If it really is Stephen Hoh, then I apologize for not believing you. But you will have one hell of a time convincing me that that is really who you are.

hey , I don't know about Babolat in Australia ,but here in the USA Babolat and Wilson got there heads up their A$$ , all it is a discount purchase unless you are top 20 in the nation and you have to be ranked by a certain time within the year and your birthdate has to fall under a certain period... If you can get a discount purchase then do and keep looking if you want free stuff.. other than that I wouldn't trust Babolat for their words on any freebies ...
