Still no source on that. And nothing on social media.
the one wta player that worships Rafa gets picked to be the face of federrors brand. That would be hilarious

Zverev to asic and solinco.

Source? If you can't support these cryptic statements; don't bother, right?

Stop the nonsense.

If I provide the source then I would never get this information again. But yes, Iga is going to ON.

Seems like a bad move, hope the money is good.

Hugo Dellien from Joma to Lotto

Yes. That’s what I’m told. Whether she uses the Roger Pro, I don’t know. I would think ON would make a better sign from a marketing standpoint.

She's #1 in the world by a gigantic margin- over 6000 points ahead of Jabeur. How could it be better?

It's not about the ranking. It's whether she's hot, charismatic, or controversial. That's what sells, especially on the women's side.
Don't shoot the messenger here. If we are being real, most people recognize this already. However, Sorana Cirstea confirmed this last month when she was speaking out about her Adidas experience:
Cirstea: I was told it was better to be beautiful and Top 20 than ugly and No.1
Sorana Cirstea says brands give more consideration to tennis players based on their physique rather than their performance. The 32-year-old, who is ranked No.38 in the world, did

I like Iga. She's a hard worker and seems wholesome. The kind of gal you want to bring home to meet Momma. However, she isn't winning any modeling contests, which is why she may not be top tier marketable. (Maybe she needs to threaten to kill a line judge?)

Not wrong by any stretch. I think she will be a great ambassador - just thought their first TRUE tennis player sign would be an international icon of sorts - that is all. I personally like her.It's not about the ranking. It's whether she's hot, charismatic, or controversial. That's what sells, especially on the women's side.

If it was Nike then yes, but ON is Swiss company with Federer on board and they have totally different approach to business. They focus on quality mostly and not really on funky design/streetwear. So they are likely to sign Iga as she fits to their image, kinda like Henin or Hingis would fit. They are opposite to what Osaka or Bouchard could endorse.It's not about the ranking.

More like every week or so; it’s like the top third of the mountain has been chopped off so that now anyone can pop up and win a major. It’s not so much about depth of the field - more lack of height.
Mens tennis is the same, just wait till Nadal and Novak retire and you have the same mess as WTA.
But at least Swiatek is convincing, much more than Alcaraz.

I think so, not sure since when, but he also follows @Nikecourt on Instagram

We might not see it until 2023, because his Yonex contract will probably end at the very end of 2022.
