Ellesse gets rid of all of their sponsored athletes? If Ellesse will cancel its tennis line, it'd be very sad.

Yeah, correct. Thank you.

No, Norrie

Both wore Ellesse indeed. But that was the European line that we all could buy via Tenniswarehouse Europe.

Na, just the Ellesse Japan players coming off contract (Lopez, Puig) and not being renewed for whatever reason. The global Ellesse brand is a separate company. They probably don't have the money to sign any legit marquee players yet. Hopefully they keep improving and find some other players to endorse.

Kei is using his Ultra pj in the Hawaiian Open.

Looking through Armani sports line. It would suit Federer so perfectly. Would make him look stunning
Instead he is going for money and looking washed up in uniqlo.

Hard to look stunning if you're Federer

niktub · Dec 26, 2018

Armani was cool in the 80's 90's but not anymore.

Konta is wearing Ellesse apparel in Brisbane, so I’m guessing she was signed by the global brand not Japanese branch?

Khachanov no longer with Wilson in Abu Dhabi...

Pictures or it isn't true.

eman11 · Dec 27, 2018

highlights on YouTube show him playing with a blacked out racket, so that statement I'd say is in question

David Le · Dec 27, 2018

Head Prestige would be cool.

Gerco · Dec 27, 2018

Best I could do for you guys

Sharapova isn't selling anything for Nike anymore. The 3.5 leader of a local ladies league is a better poster for Nike. Nadal will still sell for sure

Unless Nike starts selling Sugarpova on their website.

"Italian made" is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.

Italian fabrics?

It is just polyester.

Like Corinthian Leather.

Khachanov also only had a black bag on his bench. Couldn’t see if it was a head bag or just a random black bag.

McLovin · Dec 28, 2018

Here are a few pics of Khachanov. Not sure what can be made of them:

Apparently he was sponsored by Head a few years ago:

so maybe he's gone back, although the new frame looks to be the same as his previous one.

Probably he went back to the IG Radical MP.

David Le · Dec 28, 2018

I counted 18 mains and 19 crosses so looks like he’s testing the same racquet that Murray was testing. New line or an addition to a line?

18/20 for the blacked-out frame, no?

I thought it was 18x19 for Murray’s frame, no?

Tennis_Hands said:
I was talking about Khachanov, so the drill pattern of his and Murray's frame are different.

I recounted and it’s 18x20. Yeah, so two different drill patterns. How about that.

What do you guys think about Black clay courts ?????? blue clay didn't work albeit pretty cause it was too slippery. but black clay might work just fine. and black courts have been proven to be best ball visibility for TV viewing

Khachanov back to his "blade" today in Abu Dhabi

XFactorer · Dec 29, 2018

Robert Farrah from Mizuno to Punto Blanco Athletics

Subway Tennis · Dec 29, 2018

Interesting situation with Kachanov and Head. I know we all talk a lot on here about how the quality of Head frames has deteriorated over the years, but there are still some recent gems. The Radical Graphene MP, NOT the Radical Graphene "XT" version, is an incredible frame with the right setup.

If he were to move to Head officially, would it be a combination of IG Radical MP w/ Prestige cosmetics?
