Turkish Airways - 1mln annually + Yonex, Compeed and Oriflame(contract for 10mln), Adidas , some Danish companies + underwear line , and this list is not even 40% of her endorsements
Honestly though, I don't think anybody needs to feel sorry for her, she's making most of her money by doing what her job is - Playing tennis and being great at it.
I sure wish Caro would make less on endorsements and more on wins, as a fan I don't cheer for my players to get rich but to be successful.
With that being said, I have to wonder how up to date this list is. Vika has signed a bunch of deals lately, Citizen for example.
Interesting list. Li Na and Roddick have amazing percentage of off-court earnings. They're really making the most of coming from the world's two largest economies. :yeah:
The on, off-court breakdown is pretty interesting. I don't think there is anything that surprising here though. It always takes a few years for your off court earnings to be reflected from your results. The opposite is true too at the end of your career (eg. Roddick). Djokovic's, Murray's, Azarenka's off court earnings will likely massively increase in the next few years. If Wozniacki were not to get back to top 5 in say next 2 seasons you would probably see a big drop off in her off court earnings in a couple of years.
Sergio Tacchini dumped everyone they had to pay Djokovic then they couldn't pay him or something hence he is now with Uniqlo.
Hardly a shock a non slam winner (Woz) earning more than slam winner (Vika) the whole 1997-2001 WTA was like this. Kournikova was whipping everyone's ass in the earnings category. Sure Woz is no Anna but this isn't a new phenomenon.
Vika's money is still to come. Her agent, Meilen I believe, didn't strike at the right time I guess. The narrative by the French, Wimbledon, and the US Open shifted away from her, and so did the attention
And I'm shocked Ana isn't on this list. I assumed she wouldn't sign anything that expected too much of her for the payout
4 millions and you have to play Tsonga and Federer? That's not economically viable.
Plus Maria and Serena's agent must be asking for a lot more than the two other ones.
Federer ask one million to go play MM, there's no way Wozniacki and Azarenka ask for the same.
In terms of endorsement, I think vika's peak is yet to come, cos right after this list was create she signed 2 more new contract, with that nutrition thingy and citizen watches and if I'm right, this list is from june 2011-june 2012 so...
