Roger Federer is making On Running the coolest brand in tennis
Переглядів 90 тис.Місяць тому
Roger Federer was Nike's golden child for 20 years. That's why in 2019, fans were shocked to learn his deal with Nike ended. This opened the door for a new brand to attach themselves to the GOAT. Enter, On Running. Over the last 5 years, the Swiss shoemaker has harnessed "The Roger Federer Effect" to boost sales and break into a new market. Here's how Roger Federer is making On Running the cool...
How Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova's rivalry turned ugly
Переглядів 160 тис.2 місяці тому
When Maria Sharapova defeated Serena Williams to win Wimbledon at just 17-years-old, the sports world prepared for a long and competitive rivalry between the two women. But as the rivalry became lopsided, the media painted a different picture of Serena and Maria. A feud emerged in 2013, and the two women became enemies.
Can Carlos Alcaraz achieve the esteemed Channel Slam?

Carlos Alcaraz just won the French Open. Now, he turns his attention to the grass in hopes of achieving the Channel Slam. Only three men have pulled it off since 1980, can Alcaraz become the fourth? @thetennistalk @TheWorldofTennisYT @Tenniswithdylan
Why does Novak Djokovic wear one color at Roland Garros?

Novak Djokovic has adopted a very specific strategy at the Majors. Wear red at Roland Garros. Wear blue everywhere else. Is the strategy rooted in superstition...or something more?

    you don’t mention until quite late in this upload that Serena’s sister, Yetunde, was brutally murdered in autumn 2003. Serena was suffering from clinical depression and the effects of the knee injury (- and subsequent surgery) that she endured in summer 2003. Officials at the very the top of WTA placed pressure on Serena to return to the tour before she was physically or mentally ready to return. why? - money and tour sponsorship. television ratings dropped heavily when the Williams sisters were absent from the tour. Serena was a shadow of the player that she had been ^until she began training again, seriously, in the late spring of 2006. in 2004 she suffered losses to players, all the way through to early 2006 that were unthinkable in the previous years. Serena was also hitting fewer winners and more unforced errors in her matches during this period. any top 20 - ranked player could have defeated Serena in the Wimbledon 2004 final. Serena was very fortunate to get past Amélie Mauresmo in an ugly three-set final showcasing how badly Serena’s footwork [and overall game] had degraded. it is important to place all of these things into perspective. i know more about the background because i have met people inside professional tennis. Serena did not ‘hate’ Maria at all - she could not forgive **herself for losing the Wimbledon final and allowing the entire tennis establishment to wallow in what it had long desired, with intensity: the ‘end’ of the Williams sisters and the establishment of a glamorous young (~ white) player that appealed to middle-aged and older men. middle-aged and older make journalists that, for most part, detested Serena Williams and disliked both Williams sisters. the reality is that Serena she could not forgive herself for allowing the tennis establishment to celebrate and glorify her demise. Serena, in her mind, had to correct that. There was an intensity to Serena’s matches with Sharapova matches but i would contend that this was far more to do with Sharapova and pressure placed upon her [by her father, two particular coaches and the agent ME] to achieve a win against a player that simply had far greater weapons, significantly greater weight of shot and [a player that] simply hit more winners, frequently far more winners.

    When you started talking about the sudden rise or “mania” as described in the video, I expected you to point out why she, rather than Serena, was suddenly such a high-earning athlete. You didn’t contextualise the racial factor, especially regarding the early 2000s, in any way. Any educated person would have the critical thinking skills to at least acknowledge the blatant racism here. It’s incredibly disappointing how you kept teetering along the line but never made the serve. As first impressions go, this video is not good enough. good.

    Federer helped On take off but it's carrying itself actually. I bought the Roger Pro's originally for tennis. After my influencer bro got sponsored running shoes from them, I tried them out when my old Nikes wore out during a trip, switching from Nike Zoom X and React foam to Cloudmonster. While not as soft and plush as Nike foam, the energy rebound exceeds everything else noticeably. I was able to walk 30k steps on uneven road with minimal discomfort, and walking inside malls made every step feel bouncy at first. People who try On are repeat customers because of the product design. This is true of anything really. MK was very popular for awhile because of many celebrity endorsements. Once that wore off, it's gone the discount mass-market route because there really wasn't anything special about them.

      Kinda ironic because on’s quality is terrible. My dad bought on shoes and the bottom started to come off and he’s not even a runner or something. Also, look at Shelton when he’s playing, his clothing looks like it’s ultra sticky and low quality. Uni qlo is very good tho.

    Nike's sales has gone down for a long time. Their stocks are also down. Bad management for years! The only person who really brought up Nike was Michael Jordan! And even if he had shares (as part of the MJ's demands because he really wants Adidas from the start as it is more comfortable for his feet), the sales overall soared and Nike was in business for decades!
