‘It’s better to be beautiful and ugly and top twenty than number one in the world’, a well-known equipment supplier shocks a professional tennis player

sorana christiaThe current 38th player in the world made some daunting revelations in a podcast in her native Romania. Not long ago, when she was the 21st player in the world, she had a sponsorship contract with renowned equipment manufacturer Adidas. The latter, which she accuses of practices that are questionable to say the least, as she was told that it was better to be beautiful and ugly and to be top 20 than number one in the world… The producer was especially interested in him. They considered him a good form since the profile.

In the ‘La Fileu’ podcast, the Romanian re-explained the importance of selling a lot of merchandise through his image for players, as the sponsors have taught him.

Some athletes from some countries will be more “sellers”, others will be less enthusiastic, it is the profiles of the players that will prevail:”In general, our contracts are international. […] The best paying are American, Chinese and Japanese. Osaka Rocks, she was the highest paid player in recent years! Great Britain sells, Spain, France too. Eastern Europe doesn’t really sell. It depends a lot on you as a personality, what inspires you, how you present yourself.,

Revelations that do the needful. The equipment manufacturer, to the best of our knowledge, has not yet responded.
