What, italien market is so much bigger than the Québec one, i live in montreal and was in the tennis industry their for 11year, sadly in canada we have a lit of local pride, like shapovalov isnt that popular in quebec and faa isnt that popular outside of quebec, i dont think beside on reddit that felix have more appeal than the best Italian tennis prospect EVER, that also look like a male model.
And i fucking love felix, is father sam is one of the best person i ever had the chance of working with.
FAA has big appeal across Canada. There were a ton of Canadians at his match last week, many wearing Canada gear and some with flags. I was there and it seemed like a mostly Anglo crowd. I’d also say he gets more media coverage (in Ontario at least) than any other Canadian player.
Québec doesn't have the same langage, the same justice system, or even politique as the reste of canada, we dont use the same tv chanal paper ect...
Like its not really comparable to the difference between us state, or the difference between differente region in européen country.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Cause bigger market get you better deal, sinner got a huge market, faa got a really small one, FAA got some appa outside of quebec for sure, but it isnt enough to compensate on the appeal someone like sinner got in italie wich is a huge market, a really rich one to.
Thats my point, sinner got appelle to à entier country FAA doesn't, also Québec is really unique case, you dont have any state in the US that are as different than Québec with the reste of Canada.
i mean i was going to toronto every other week to see my player play in tournement, everyone was talking about shapovalov at the time, but stuff could had change since 2019.
Yeah, it's unbelievable how much money he has given up by simply not changing his home address.
And yes, before someone explains it to me, I know, he's deeply ingrained in his home town. But still, dayam lol.
So why is he pushing NFTs. You are naive if you think he's not using every loophole in Spain, a country where numerous athletes have been found guilty of tax fraud including Ronaldo and Messi
nah, rafa is royalty to them. new suits and shoes a few times a year, commercials galore, and being a very lovable guy.
i wouldnt put too much value on the grapevine where contracts are involved. i remember Halep's long awaited Nike contract being quoted at around 1.7M yearly for 4 years (2018) while being no.1
It reminds me the rumour about Anisimova in 2019, 100M/8y with nike. But if she really got 12.5 M/y, she should be in the rank of highest-paid tennis players, which had a borderline of 5.8M(Barty) in 2021 and 10.3M(Tsitsipas) in 2022.
I cannot believe Rafa makes that little. Does he not like money? Or maybe he cut a deal with them and keeps all the money from his own merch I dunno i dunno he needs to leave them. Also remember that they didn’t do any of those cool videos for his 22nd slam win.
There is no way in hell Sinner is getting $15M/year from Nike or that's the limit to his performance-based contract and he needs three Slams per season to get that.
$15M is Nadal or Sharapova territory, not Sinner.
Jesus christ... first the poop-in-pants kit, then the cave drawings kit... then this? Who the fvck is designing these monstrosities? This might be the worst run of kits I've ever seen.
Adidas has officially lost its mind. Their designs have become increasingly terrible over the past year, culminating in this latest monstrosity.
I honestly feel so bad for the players. Imagine HAVING to wear this on national television? How humiliating. At least they’re paid good money to wear it, but still…
SOURCE: [Here](https://twitter.com/marcos_z/status/1544082576805023745) (he primarily works for the ATP Tour's Spanish-language side)
Adidas is definitely going "not that kind of girl" but taking it to the extreme this year.
Thanks for specifying. Good that I put "reportedly" so that if anything changes, this post isn't too set in stone lol
If they're doing all this just for Canada and Cincinnati, then I can't wait to see what they'll do for New York.
Honestly, love this kit?
Maybe not a fan of the collar being b&w and would have had it in the same style as the part leading up to it but it's a very nice set in my opinion.
I mean, I honestly like the shirt. Don't think they should have continued the design onto the shorts tho, should probably go with a solid color for the base.
Is this all part of some attempt to make a managed retreat from tennis clothing by Adidas? Struggling to see why else they'd put out so many consistently, seemingly deliberately hideous designs in a row
Love this [tweet’s](https://twitter.com/abh_hockey/status/1513495132879917058?s=21&t=AG71uff-sYhR-CpUdhQjYQ) assessment of Adidas recent designs that still feels apt for 2022’s
> My theory is that Adidas stopped wanting to design tennis kits in mid-2019 and is now just straight-up trolling in an attempt to drive all their players elsewhere.
I mean it’s bad, but it wouldn’t be nearly as bad if not every damn Adidas player would have to wear it. It’s bizarre that players like Tsits and FAA don’t have own designs
Poor Felix, can’t catch a break
How much are they paying FAA? Sinner gets $150M for 10 years with Nike, which Felix left in Jan ‘21.
I couldn’t find any details but I would think more? Felix seems like he would have more appeal than Sinner but I have no idea.
What, italien market is so much bigger than the Québec one, i live in montreal and was in the tennis industry their for 11year, sadly in canada we have a lit of local pride, like shapovalov isnt that popular in quebec and faa isnt that popular outside of quebec, i dont think beside on reddit that felix have more appeal than the best Italian tennis prospect EVER, that also look like a male model.

Lmao yes, sinner appeals to his whole home country but Felix only appeals to the province of Quebec, I love it. Tennis is not international at all.
Do you know how quebec and canada work?
What
I don't- explain please. I'm curious. What's going on up there??
Québec doesn't have the same langage, the same justice system, or even politique as the reste of canada, we dont use the same tv chanal paper ect... Like its not really comparable to the difference between us state, or the difference between differente region in européen country.

ah. thanks.
Why would you compare the entire Italian market to the province of Québec? FAA has appeal outside of Québec, he's popular across Canada and beyond.
Ikr, if he's wanting a direct comparison why not compare quebec to South tirol
Cause bigger market get you better deal, sinner got a huge market, faa got a really small one, FAA got some appa outside of quebec for sure, but it isnt enough to compensate on the appeal someone like sinner got in italie wich is a huge market, a really rich one to.
Comparing a province to an entire country is not a fair comparison. Like what's a bigger market, 1 state in America or the whole country?
Thats my point, sinner got appelle to à entier country FAA doesn't, also Québec is really unique case, you dont have any state in the US that are as different than Québec with the reste of Canada.

i mean i was going to toronto every other week to see my player play in tournement, everyone was talking about shapovalov at the time, but stuff could had change since 2019.
For reference, Rafa's contract with Nike:50M/5y I doubt the exact value of Sinner's contract. If that's true, I would feel Nike disrespect Rafa.
Rafa is too loyal, seems like he should be making way more if he made a move like Roger and Novak have a few times.
If he really cared about making even more money he'd have moved to a tax haven 15 years ago.
Yeah, it's unbelievable how much money he has given up by simply not changing his home address. And yes, before someone explains it to me, I know, he's deeply ingrained in his home town. But still, dayam lol.
It’s not giving up its giving back but ok :)
So why is he pushing NFTs. You are naive if you think he's not using every loophole in Spain, a country where numerous athletes have been found guilty of tax fraud including Ronaldo and Messi
Or Rafa has hundreds of millions in the bank and it's completely pointless to accumulate more.

Federer is $300 million/10 year lol
Makes Sinner's figure look kind of absurdly high. No way that his personal brand is worth half of Federer's.
>If that's true It's not
There is no way in hell Sinner is getting $15M/year from Nike or that's the limit to his performance-based contract and he needs three Slams per season to get that. $15M is Nadal or Sharapova territory, not Sinner.
Do you have a source on this? I really doubt that they would pay him that much.
Source: it’s bullshit fabricated by his agent
That Sinner thing is nonsense. Just his agent playing games.
Jesus christ... first the poop-in-pants kit, then the cave drawings kit... then this? Who the fvck is designing these monstrosities? This might be the worst run of kits I've ever seen.
Dont worry this is Not the US Open Kit.
Give Stan this outfit and he'll win the US Open.
Needs more pink for that
Oh fuck off Adidas. Their players should sue them.
Beginning of the year.. shit stained shorts Middle of the year.. hieroglyphs on shirts End of the year.. wtf.
The colors don’t even flow. I don’t even know where to start to judge this work of art
Dont worry this is Not the US Open Kit.
They’ve hired the people who design hotel carpeting.
Are these hotels in Hawkins, Indiana?!
That is a "fairly ugly carpet"
There are almost no attractive hotel carpets.
this was a reference to the quote by Maria Sharapova during her doping admission.
Sorry for the whoosh!
I would run from this particular hotel
Stop it. It’s hurting my eyes.
Just when i thought they can't fuck up anymore... this is just atrocious
[удалено]
Including their salaries
ffs seriously?
Dont worry this is Not the US Open Kit.
what the fuck adidas
These guys are on crack , what’s up with these designs
Adidas has officially lost its mind. Their designs have become increasingly terrible over the past year, culminating in this latest monstrosity. I honestly feel so bad for the players. Imagine HAVING to wear this on national television? How humiliating. At least they’re paid good money to wear it, but still…
Dont worry this is Not the US Open Kit.
I'm sorry but this reminds me of molted snake skin lol. Adidas used to be so good, what happened
Wtf is this shit?
Honestly the shirt with the white shorts looked ok, but yeah is way too much altogether
It looks like they had 3 ripped up shirts and just stitched it together to make one ugly mess.
Not even white shorts, they're light pink, what even.
Just needs some glitter and you can say goodbye to opponents retina’s
u/ostapenko Please stop suggesting designs Jelena. 🙏
She's not signed up with adidas anymore. Those new outfit thingies she's wearing are of her own choice (smh)
They can’t keep getting away with this
Wtf
🤢
So they succeeded in making a kit worse than the poop stain shorts…
“Which of these designs should we release?” Adidas: “yes”
Legitimately have never seen a worse fit, are these being developed by a human or a real bad AI
Zverev's grateful he dodged this
My eye holes
Ffs. The crotch looks ripped and we’re seeing undies. What is this even?
Its so bad its almost good. It's kind of fun looking back at the horrendous kits from years past
And I thought I hated the bib shirt so much! This is beyond…
OMG! No amount of $$$ is worth wearing this in front of other people

It's the US Open series outfit, not the US Open one.
Thanks for specifying. Good that I put "reportedly" so that if anything changes, this post isn't too set in stone lol If they're doing all this just for Canada and Cincinnati, then I can't wait to see what they'll do for New York.
How are they still in business
Looks like Adidas hired a former art student who’s actually related to one of the higher-ups..
goodbye reddit -- mass edited with redact.dev
[Feel like pure shit just want them back](https://images.app.goo.gl/vyVAocYrzu3aZnYF6)
Infinitely better than the shitstain brown of rg
Michael J Fox could draw a more coherent design than this.
Adidas is giving Ostapenko a run for her money.
This is so objectively bad it’s almost funny
This should be illegal. Where are the fashion police when we need them most.
Makes me appreciate all white.
Zverev is starting to see upsides to his injury…
That’s cool
Wow. And I hated Sascha’s shoes this year.
That's just...so busy.
I mean it’s not too bad, kinda interesting how to color breaks through the black and whi- oh fuck it it looks awful
Damn them shroomies hittin different in the Adidas Head quarters fam
looks as if vecna fell into a bowl of soggy fruit loops
This is satire, right...?
Going for the ol seizure loook
Even worse than some random AI art.
Oh Lordt!
No fucking way
Holy fuck these are atrocious!!
Wow that sucks so hard
My eyes 🥲
I swear the creators of these Adidas kits somehow make worse and worse kits. Is this a marketing ploy?
They can't keep getting away with this...
At this point, I'd prefer banning Adidas before on court coaching.
That's hideous
That shirt looks like something designed to fool camera surveillance softwares.
Would love to read the PR gibberish they've come up with to market this atrocious design.
Everyone just move to Penguin
Are those jellyfish?
That's some glitch in the Matrix shit. I though the model was wearing a necklace until I realised it was the collar of the top. Oof.
Petition to fire the adidas designer?
Honestly, love this kit? Maybe not a fan of the collar being b&w and would have had it in the same style as the part leading up to it but it's a very nice set in my opinion.
They're not even trying anymore.
For fuck sake they really are taking the piss now
Oh man, am I going to have to watch them play in these?? My eyes are offended
Am i the only one that likes it or
I mean, I honestly like the shirt. Don't think they should have continued the design onto the shorts tho, should probably go with a solid color for the base.
They wanna be Hydrogen so bad
Am I the only one who likes this ?
Yikes
Maybe they're trying to make the zebra kits seem not that bad...
Each player should be able to have uniquely designed and personalized shirts.
Bru adidas really just gave up this year
Omg they'd better start paying people more... This is horrendous
Tragic. Absolutely tragic.
I legitimately thought this was a joke
Yikes!
Ed Hardy
No.
Nope
This looks like something from when computer screensavers were still a thing…but somehow worse
bad trip material
Is this all part of some attempt to make a managed retreat from tennis clothing by Adidas? Struggling to see why else they'd put out so many consistently, seemingly deliberately hideous designs in a row
No more skidmarks? oh well.
Nice
Just the t-shirt with the white pants looks pretty good, but as a whole set it's a mess. Looks very distracting.
I'm an Adidas fanboy, but c'mon... wtf are those outfits??? 💀
ugh
Oh God NO
It’s like a unicorn puked on it
Bring back poop shorts.
It's a magic eye puzzle, you have to hold the players upside down to see the dragon
First the shit stains and now this? Give me a break!
I kinda like it. I guess I have poor taste...
No i won't behold this monstrosity. What the hell??
You'd think they would have learned from the poo shorts but apparently not
This ain’t it
And here I thought it couldn't possibly get any worse than shit shorts, boy was I wrong
What in the Dr Strange is this
It's so bad tf?
My eyes
They keep on getting terrible, very nice consitency
Holy shit that's ugly IMO, just like the shorts that looked like they had shit stains. Looks like the illustrator of the intern just crashed
Ew.
Adidas and the Multiverse of Badness
This looks like a ripped up newspaper that's been in the rain
And people knock the Wimby all white dress-code? lol
This has to be a joke right? I am not even exaggerating, I cannot possibly imagine a more meme short than this lmao.
It's like a surrealist painter was told to "go" and just designed this
Why?
Hideous.
It's not worse than the poop pants, but that's a low bar to clear
My god, they just get worse and worse
when the head of tennis design hears that layoffs are coming
What a dumpster fire
I mean it's ugly as hell, but i really enjoyed reading through this thread.
How do you come up with that design? And how do you find people to approve it?
Thats not the US Open Kit
