Sponsorship changes 2020

Nike invests in mostly all the young rising prospects in each country. They'll hold onto them if they break in the top 50 but usually after 2 years if they don't make the next step, they'll drop'em.

They'll keep some marketable ones like Bouchard (still boggles my mind), but overall they're pretty quick to cut off ties, especially now that they've cut back on tennis investments.

He was with Nike until 2009, then with DNA for a couple of years (2010-2011). Apparently he wore UA for less than a half year before switching to Lotto during 2012 clay season.

Played in Nike all through college as well (Nike outfits for Uni of Illinois). Saw him playing live in sleeveless one time his junior year. Was always surprised why he didn't have a Stevie Johnson type college career. Used to blow away opponents off both wings and big big serve.
