  • Uniqlo Tennis Clothing Coming!

    Uniqlo Tennis Clothing Coming!

    Here’s some pictures of the new range of Uniqlo tennis clothing that will be launched in April 2012. Finally all Kei Nishikori’s fans can get his very sought after tennis clothing which are unavailable before this. Adidas lost the Nishikori clothing deal to Uniqlo last year. Nishikori and IMG chose Uniqlo partly because it offered “greater long- term potential for Kei to earn money,” said Olivier Van Lindonk, Nishikori’s agent.

    “Uniqlo can become a partner for Kei for a long time, even after his playing days are over,” Van Lindonk said. He said the company may eventually develop a Kei Nishikori line or Kei Nishikori brand within the brand.

  • Misaki Doi & Srixon

    Misaki Doi & Srixon

    During the recent Wimbledon 2011 Grand Slam, most of you tennis fans here have seen Misaki Doi powering into the third round. It was certainly her greatest achivement so far on tour. At 5 feet 3 inches tall and weighing at 52kg, she’s a pocketful of dynamite. ‘Explosive’ is what I would call her game, powering into shots with her entire body, off the ground all the time on her serve & superb forehand, she is definitely the player to watch if you’re into modern attacking footwork.

    With an agressive attitude like Li Na and an all court attacking game like Federer, I will foresee a lot of her opponents getting bombed by her power game in the near future. Check out the youtube video on top to sample her fierce explosive game against a grand slam double’s champion, Zheng Jie at Wimbledon. Eventually she fell to a semifinalist, the ever smiling Sabine Lisicki, during the tournament.

    Misaki’s weapon of choice is a rare one, a Srixon Revo X 2.0, something that you will not see in these shores. Catering for the japanese market, Srixon racquets are developed by Dunlop & they are better known as a golf brand. You can check out their range of the gears at their website: www.srixon-tennis.com. Below are some of Miss Doi’s picture gathered from all around the internet… enjoy!
