Tennis is dominated by Nike and Adidas, and all I was saying is that it would be nice for a #3 to join their company. I highly doubt Lacoste will be that #3, but perhaps Uniqlo can get there. I always figured Reebok would take a larger chunk of the market, but that didn't happen either.

I'll concede that Lacoste is probably #3 right now, and certainly in Europe, as in America almost nobody plays with Lacoste. In '86, when I left Germany, Adidas was already starting to corner the local market, so I'm sure their foothold has only gotten stronger.

Lacoste is definitely not a niche brand in any way, if Lacoste is a niche brand then so is Ralph Lauren....and well almost every self respecting gentlemen has a piece of Ralph Lauren in their closet.

Why TW guys are holding Novak pic on Adidas page banner, as we know he doesn't have any contract with them, whether there's any kind of deal or agreement, as Novak wears Adidas shoes exclusively on and off the court???

We don't know that at all.

Or, post your source of this information.
