IMG loses its Federer and Nadal but gains Novak it seems.

Eeyore isn't much of consolation prize for losing Fed and Nadal. IMG is a mess right now so I don't blame either one of them for jumping ship. Eeyore is a dummy for going to them considering IMG is going under at a rapid pace.

"Dummy"??? I think not. Going to an agency that's having problems puts you in a position to get more favorable terms. If the agency were to go under you simply move your account to another one.

IMG is in a disarray. It is being sold off and split up. I do not think that going to a company that can't even keep itself together is going to be able to do much for Eeyore. You also have to factor in his lack of popularity because if the public ain't buying it won't matter what he's selling.

I must say Clarky, I like this new nickname you have for Djokovic much more than Cvac.

Djokovic is in the prime of his career. Federer and Nadal are nearing the end.

Clarky isn't in a position to be making nicknames for anybody. Djokovic is the world #1 tennis player. Clarky is the world #1 tennis forum clown.

Clarky just worries too much about Djoko. I'm sure he will be fine, no matter what agency he's with...

I'm not worried about Eeyore because I could not care less about him. What I said about IMG is the truth.

True Fed is old and Rafa finished but Djokovic is just not a charismatic player.Being N0 1 doesnt make you so.

Well the tennis world sure found Djokovic 2.0 charismatic for a while there eh? Basically beside themselves at the path of destruction Djokovic was leaving in his wake, crushing Nadal everywhere and ripping the #1 ranking from his hands literally!

IMG in a freefall as top athletes learn they don't need them anymore.

You either charismatic or not.There is no such a thing of being found charismatic for a while.He is a top 3 player for the last 6 years he has an amazing 2011 followed by pretty good 2012,of course he will have some kind of fame and there will be some people who admires him.He is just doesnt have a star power like Borg and Agassi used to having,Fed and Nadal has.

[veroniquem]

Fed never had the slightest charisma and look what they've done with him! At least, Djoko is funny and easy to relate to, 2 things Fed is definitely not. I say their task will be easier with Djoko (provided he keeps winning of course).

Have you ever seen his Nike or Lindt commercials(especially the last one)? Nadal has ZERO charisma.

Federer doesn't have any charisma. And all Nadal does is grunt and 'vamos' his butt off. You think anybody would care about these guys if they only had 2-3 Slams respectively?

That's exactly what I'm saying: if they can make enjoyable commercials with the dullest guy on earth, they should be able to do even better with an actual fun guy. Bring them on!
