A major wrist surgery has prevented Laura Robson from playing competitively for the most of 2014, nevertheless, Nike have decided to make the Brit a new part of their team now that Li Na is gone.
Yesterday Robson tweeted the above photo saying “Spot the difference” and it didn’t take us long to notice that she has replaced Adidas shoes with Nike. Less than a day later she confirmed the change of apparel sponsor by posting a photo of herself in a Nike sweatshirt, saying:
Nice to meet you @NikeTennis @nikeuk. #justdoit
Actually, Laura has already done a photoshoot for Nike (the above pic is from the set) and there has already been a promotional happening in London.
Laura’s sole finished WTA match this year was a first-round loss to Kirsten Flipkens at the Australian Open. (photos via Laura Robson’s official Twitter and Laura Robson News)
That’s a good news. She has sponsors and money so hopefully she will be able to focus 100% on her tennis because her potential is far bigger than her recent performances
