Editors note:
On social media SIMONA thanked a man from Adidas. His name is Claus Martin and his passion is tennis. Sure he loves golf. But I forget how many slams in a row Claus attended without missing one… It was a huge record. Only guy that maybe beats it… Maybe is Martin “Marty” Mulligan of FILA. Marty as both a TOP player and FILA TOP man forever….. Maybe he soon will sign Bjorn Borg’s Son too….
We are surprised Simona does not have a clothing sponsorship deal? She will surprise us all by the time the 2018 Aussie Open starts.
Are clothing deals shrinking? No, not the clothes. The deals? WTA / World Number One?
