Fernando Verdasco, the man of many movements. From Tecnifibre to Yonex back to Tecnifibre to........
|
Dunlop?
On Feburary 6th, 2010 Verdasco signed a contract with Yonex, but there was one stipulation the general public was not made aware of.
Apprently
Verdasco's Yonex contract had a 30 day 'opt' out option according to an inside source of mine. An aggressive move by Yonex in my opinion to sign Fernando, who's well known for his Calvin Klein ads.
And the worst happened, after winning the SAP Open using the Yonex RDiS 200, he was spotted in Indian Wells using his Tecnifibre frame again. Reason for this? Verdasco had opted out of the Yonex contract as stated in it even though Yonex offered him a generous amount of money (my source did not disclose the amount) and signed with Dunlop, news broke yesterday in a press release released by Dunlop .
Verdasco commented: "Becoming a brand ambassador for Dunlop is a very proud moment for me and I look forward to joining the great players already associated with the brand. I am continuing to work hard and with the help from Dunlop I hope to be able to make this my most successful year to date."
Verdasco will immediately begin testing Dunlop's 2011 technology. A shocking move for one of the top 20 players in the world in my opinion!
What's on your mind?
