Hey have you ever noticed the racquets in the Genworth Financial commercials w/ Agassi, Graf, and Dent? The one where Agassi & Graf are playing into the night, you can clearly see (multiple times) a W stencil on Steffi's Wilson racquet. I mean it's almost like they make it obvious. No stencil on Andre's Head racquet, and his shots w/ his racquet are very quick... Then again in the Graf/Agassi kid v. Dent ad, you can see Dent's Wilson stencil really clearly--and the kid is using a Head racquet, but w/ no stencil. And they show Dent picking up the ball so you can clearly see his racquet...
Anyone else curious as to why this is or know why this would be? Is Wilson somehow related to Genworth Financial? (through GE perhaps?) Or I wonder if Wilson just gave their approval and Head didn't? I mean, if you're going to use the actual racquets that Graf, Dent, and Agassi use, they're probably all going to be stenciled... yet the Heads are conspicuously not.
Ok, before you think I'm a conspiracy theorist or somehow relate this to paintjobs, my disclaimer... I've seen these commercials (like all of you) about 4,000 times in the last 2 months so things just start popping out at me.
