Well, I'm Marat's fan, so prefer more subtle 'look-at-me' personality or 'media-go-away' personality. That's probably the new generation things -- am I that old :( Monfils, Tsongsa, etc seem to need media attention too.

We don't know that Adidas doesn't want Nole anymore - perhaps K Swiss is just offering more money. . .we'll see! I'm becoming more and more of a Nole fan, even though as a Fed fan I was pissed at him and his family after all that "The King is Dead" talk. But regardless of that, I'm loving his outgoing personality and his ability to mix things up in the tennis world. Don't love the blue shoes, though! Not quite head-over-heels about Murray, yet. But maybe he'll grow on me. . . I think that Andy Murray is such a media juggernaut in the U.K. that he is in that way much more marketable.

Even though I'm not a fan of Djokovic's personality (he can be too militant for my taste, what with the chest pumping and saluting and such. I'm not really a fan of Hitler.) I still think he has more going on marketing-wise than Murray. I mean Murray has this huge promo machine working around him and they are practically force feeding Murraymania! Plus, as you pointed out, Adidas had a clothing line with Djokovic. What about the smurf shoes?! *********** So... Freakyfrites (Federer avatar), Freakyfritters (Rafa avatar). Are you guys related? Or are you sort of just...alter egos? :-) I agree with what you said Lilypop.

Djokovic has alot more going on the personality dept than Murray does as well. Strange move by Adidas. I agree with you on that Nina.

You're especially welcome. ^_^ I also just noticed that I made the GTT All Stars. Although I'm not exactly sure what I did to deserve that honor, I'm super happy nonetheless. Yay! Vamos! *does fist pump and leg kick* :D ************ Hmm, it's an interesting switch don't you think? Is this a case of them thinking about Murray's future potential (what with all of the "experts" of the game tipping him to win majors next year?) VS Djokovic not having won a Major since AO 2008? I find it a little bit surprising that they are switching actually. I mean, Djokovic STILL has a Major and he IS world number 3. Plus, and I don't want this to come off the wrong way, he has more personality that Murray! Like him or not, he has more pizazz than Murray. I have nothing against Andy, but he somehow rubs people the wrong way, even without meaning to. And I think that Djokovic maybe more popular than Murray as well. *shrugs* Maybe Adidas is sick of Nike having their players in the top positions on both the men's and women's sides. So they view this as their big chance. What do you guys think? I guess we'll finally see Murray wearing colors. Can you say bright oranges, blues and lime greens? :D *grins* No need to thank me Freakyfrites. You’re especially welcome. ^_^

Sports Business Journal says Nole and KSwiss are negotiating as his adidas contract runs out at the end of the year: "K-Swiss is looking to make a splash with a major tennis endorsement, having already made a run at Andy Murray and continuing to talk with Novak Djokovic, whose contract with Adidas expires at the end of this year," Kaplan reports in the latest issue of SportsBusiness Journal.

I think Djokovic is going to K-Swiss. I'm not 100% sure. :/ A rather surprising switch seeing as Djokovic IS world number 3 and has the Falcon thing going on.
