Looks like Uniqlo will be paying Fed $30 mil/year for the next 10 years during this deal. They're going to get a ton of exposure, assuming his participation at the Tokyo Olympics 2 years from now. The RF logo is staying with Nike at least for the time being tho.

$300 Mil even if he doesn't play for 10 years.

He's made $116 Mil on court earnings.

Uniqlo allowing him to sell patches for other advertisers too.

Pretty crazy good deal for him.

Of course he's getting the logo back soon enough. I can understand Federer going for the money but I am surprised that Nike wouldn't even come close to matching.

Day 1 isn't really ever in doubt for the top players.

Wait for a few days and this will get much more attention.

It's great to play too. In fact, if I told y'all about the success I've had as a tennis player and the stories I've been involved with through my affiliation to the game, it'd be pretty easy for you guys to know my identity with a simple google search.

I had recorded Shapovalov against Chardy and started watching with trepidation as Chardy has been solid lately and Denis was struggling on grass so far this year, but he played an excellent match. Woot woot.

Americans complain about summer sports, but you have World Cup, the Tour, and Wimbledon right now.
