She is talented,beautiful,strong,powerful,winning too many titles,she basically has everything to be the next global idol,of course she will have more sponsors and $$$

Vika is the bestHope she can dominate WTA for years

[Jimmie48]

In terms of prize money I can totally see that happening. But she won't make nearly as much as Sharapova makes on endorsements, she's not the type for that.

Lin Lin is trying too hard to be the new SAISAI-GOAT.

With her being a "chav in a hoodie" (my sense of humour before anyone goes on at me) she won't get any higher end sponsors such as Tiffany's/Cole Haan/TAG Heuer. She just doesn't have the right image for companies such as those.

The other thing is that being with IMG is a huge advantage endorsement wise, they have so many contacts and well...she isn't with them, shouldn't have left when she did.

She can enjoy her Red Bull...http://topnews.us/content/241994-red...l-energy-drink

She's never going to touch Sharapova or Li Na. Still, she'll have plenty of cash.

Sometimes I have the feeling Lin Lin isn't trying at all.

So what, what is it that Maria can afford to get for herself that Vika cannot?

Good point. At some point your rising income does give you diminishing returns.


I don't think a person who makes 12 million per year, lives that differently from a person who makes 20 million. My bet would be you probably wouldn't even notice the difference in lifestyles.


These types of topics are for ego and bragging rights only. Nothing tangible.

[kjsulliv]

She might. Who knows? I doubt she'll top them but we'll see. As far as endorsements, people don't seem to like her...she might want to try and change that so the BIG money will come in.

[moodin0931]

Would love this!

[Wiggly]

If you win both the Australian Open and Indian Wells, you have 3.4 millions in your bank account my March. That's massive.

The weird thing is that prize money has never been so high while no tennis player has ever been has disliked as she is.
Her public image will prevent her from getting any massive sponsorships.

I still don't know how she got that Citizen deal.

[Lin Lin]

I hope some chinese brands can sponsor her

[wtftennis]

I hope vika isnt that type that will endorse anything just for a paycheck. We see people like that all the time, doesnt matter if the products are cancer, and people suffer later from them, people will do anything for money. Go Vika, earn titles, income through hard work and talent alone.
