Please post pictures of good players going sponsorless. I’m interested in how players dress when it’s up to them.
Tommy Haas, for many years, was sponsored by a shop. I think it was from around 2011 onward. At the US Open, against Monaco, he wore about 4 different t-shirts, one of which was a "Haines" Walmart t-shirt with a pocket on the left chest.
The other brands he wore were Nike, Unlimited and something else that I can't remember.
Ivanisevic Wimbledon 2004, first time since his 2001 win. Wearing the Wimbledon polo out of the gift shop.
I wonder if it’d be permitted to wear, say, an AC/DC shirt. I’m sure they have a rule against that.Tommy had the right idea. Save money.
Idk probably. Tennis people are stuffy. I play in a megadeath or Metallica shirt while a lot of my teammates have their polos.My shots go just as deep and hard as theirs.I wonder if it’d be permitted to wear, say, an AC/DC shirt. I’m sure they have a rule against that.
I used to play a guy who always wore a Slayer shirt. I think it was his way of making it clear that he didn’t want to be a part of tennis culture.Idk probably. Tennis people are stuffy.

In 2014-2015 he played with very nice Nike t-shirts labeled "Tennis Point" on right shoulder. I liked those a lot.Tommy Haas, for many years, was sponsored by a shop.

That patch looks uncomfortable.
I always cringe a little at the sight of a stiff looking patch. The smiley sun patch was the Halle Open symbol, right?
i read she got the new ones prep'd, but then again i think i saw her went back to her old Gds...Did she finally switch from the Duel G? Would think it's an actual switch and not a pj since she's not sponsored.
There’s a rule about how big the logo can be plus you cannot have two logos on a shirt generally but they haven’t been that strict with that rule afaik.I wonder if it’d be permitted to wear, say, an AC/DC shirt. I’m sure they have a rule against that.
I read her manager ordered it online from some Chinese maker. This was in between Adidas and Nike. I doubt you'll see this happen again.
I wonder if Halep went to the store to make this purchase. It’s a nice thought.

Ha ha naw. High speed dirt.do you whistle "sweating bullets" while you play?
Or society.I used to play a guy who always wore a Slayer shirt. I think it was his way of making it clear that he didn’t want to be a part of tennis culture.

-i can understand whyi read she got the new ones prep'd, but then again i think i saw her went back to her old Gds...
not seen her during the AO prep matches yet... so not sure
currently players like
Ernests Gulbis,
Wrong. They go deeper and harder. Kill 'em All!!!Idk probably. Tennis people are stuffy. I play in a megadeath or Metallica shirt while a lot of my teammates have their polos.My shots go just as deep and hard as theirs.
he hasn't been sponsored by them for a few yearsGulbis has been sponsored by adidas since the beginning of time.
Ha. True.Or society.
-i can understand why
-yonex is messing up the PRO-line, big time!!
-not everyone wants a new-age "spinny" toy, some of us still want "SOLID" stable sticks
-these new green vcore.pros suck!!
-its too thin! making them too low powered
-(orange)tour.g.310/330 beam =20.5/20.5/20.5, weight=329/346, RA63Isn't the beam width of the Duel G and the updated VCores all the same? I used the Duel G and the Blue VCore Pro and they were the same beam width iirc.
-(orange)tour.g.310/330 beam =20.5/20.5/20.5, weight=329/346, RA63
-(red/orange)dualg.310/330 beam =20.5/20.5/20.5, weight=326/346, RA64
-(blue)pro.310/330 beam = 20/20/20, weight = 326/346, RA65
-(new GREEN)pro.310/330 beam =20/20/20, weight=326/349, RA65
-ever since the yonex.vcore.tour.Fs, they started to mess arround with the specs and fffff the line up
-changes to the pattern (from 16/20 to 16/19) and the weight ^ have been all over the place, and not in a good way
-when you lower the beam width = less material = less stable
Unrelated to his lack of sponsorship, but he looks way older than 24 in that 2nd photo. Has that ragged, rock star who has done their fair amount of substances vibe going on there imo.Thanasi Kokkinakis at this year's AO
I remember reading an article in Tennis magazine back in the 90s about how they made up a rule banning clothes with certain design elements on it, which was mostly at the time seen as a way to get the Jensens to wear "regular" tennis clothes:I wonder if it’d be permitted to wear, say, an AC/DC shirt. I’m sure they have a rule against that.

had the exact same thought lol. seems like not his dayI'm watching Aslan Karatsev playing FAA in the 4th round. I could be wrong, but he looks like one of those guys that is "sponsored by his closet" as Brad Gilbert used to say.
Apparently, he's wearing Adidas shirt, socks, hat, and shorts... but using Asics shoes. And I'm not clear if the Adi gear he's wearing is current season, so I'm not sure he's under contract.

what model are his asics shoes?Asics

Someone should try for a Chiquita sponsorship. Lot of banana eaters on tour.Unrelated to his lack of sponsorship, but he looks way older than 24 in that 2nd photo. Has that ragged, rock star who has done their fair amount of substances vibe going on there imo.
