Money well spend!!

Caroline Wozniacki vs. Maria Kirilenko 6-0, 6-4

Kirilenko played in an adidas by Stella McCartney outfit. But next time they meet it will be Wozniacki playing in an adidas by Stella McCartney outfit.

It's really disappointing on the part of Stella and Adidas that they don't get a lot of media coverage on her designs with Kirilenko as the endorser. They are just wasting their investment on a player who could not even past the second round more so that she only plays in the outside court.

I believe that adidas created the Adidas Tennis Player Development Programme as a way to make good investments on its stable of players. The more success the player has on the court, the more coverage he/she gets from the media. The end result will be more sales on the part of adidas.

It's really disappointing that Maria Kirilenko has not step up her game to be in league of Safina, Ivanovic and Wozniacki. Her game is so vulnerable.She doesn't have any weapons that would make her an exciting player. She may have the looks but what is important for a tennis player is his/her ability to market himsef/herself with a good solid tennis game. I hope Maria Kirilenko will realize that if she wants to market herself as a good businesswoman by taking advantage of her looks then she has to play really well. Case in point – Maria Sharapova.
I do hope she will take advantange of the adidas tennis player development programme in order to seek help from the experts like sven groeneveld, darren cahill and gil reyes. The programme has been very successful. To date, Safina, Ivanovic, Wozniacki and Verdasco are living testaments of its success.

As for Caroline, being the chosen one to wear the very exclusive Stella McCartney Line is a reward for her dedication and loyalty to the brand. I'm sure that the outfit will suit her well.

Although, there are some people who are skeptical about her appointment, let's give her chance to showcase what she has. I'm sure Stella and the adidas executives will not choose her if she doesn't fit to the brand.

As for the me, as a very loyal adidas fan. I'm excited to see Caroline wear stella's designs during the US Open. I'm sure she will do well.

I also do hope that adidas will be able to convince her, verdasco and grigor dimitrov to use their rackets because I'm sure it will be a very good marketing ploy that will make Nike and others scratch their head.

Teerin, you had anticipated Maria would be seeded. Congrats to you!

Mariam, I think exactly the same way you do.

It's no surprise though as she is a past champion and two time semifinalist. And Wimbledon always does that.
