Sponsors lining up to sign Stosur Linda Pearce/November 15, 2011 POWERED by the grand slam singles prize Sam Stosur had coveted, the auxiliary benefits are now starting to flow. While not quite in the league of French Open champion Li Na, who has signed sponsorship contracts reportedly exceeding $40 million since winning her maiden major in June, Stosur is set to announce several lucrative deals in the coming months. 贏得大滿貫冠軍帶來的影響開始發酵如同李娜奪得法網冠軍獲得超過四千萬元的贊助合約美網冠軍Stosur也將在接下來幾個月簽下幾筆利多的合約 ''It's definitely been a benefit for a lot of players that have won [slams] in the past,'' the US Open champion said. ''I'm not expecting anything to happen like Li Na, that's just ridiculous what's going on. But, I mean, this has probably been the busiest couple of months [manager Paul Kilderry] has ever had, so hopefully it will all come out with some good deals.'' Sam 說:曾贏得大滿貫冠軍的球員，在講價時(誤)會比較有優勢。我不認為自己能像李娜一樣，那樣太誇張了。但接下來一兩個月，對我的經紀人Paul來說，可能會是最忙碌的，希望到時候，能有幾筆不錯的交易。 Kilderry confirmed yesterday that ''there's one or two pending'', to add to existing commercial arrangements with Lacoste, Babolat, Oakley, Jetstar, McCain, Orix and Usana Health Sciences. But he insisted new backers would be selected carefully from the growing band of commercial suitors so as not to distract Stosur from the main game. 經紀人Paul Kilderry 昨天(11/14)證實，有一兩項贊助新合約，會加入現有的贊助商 (鱷魚、百保力、太陽眼鏡、捷星亞航、麥肯食品、歐力士、優莎納藥品...等)行列，但他堅持會以不干擾Sam 的比賽為主，去篩選這些新贊助商。 ''The US Open was great, and it has generated a lot more interest globally in Sam from sponsors and there's certainly been a lot of things come across my desk,'' Kilderry said. ''It's more just about choosing the right things; you can chase money all around the world in tennis, but is it what's best for your tennis? 經紀人表示，美網冠軍帶來各方對 Sam的贊助興趣，是全球性的，比起選得正確，你還能到世界各地賺更多錢，但不表示這對你的網球生涯有助益。 ''There's been interest from everywhere to be honest, and more people want her time, and more tournaments want her to play their events, so it's just balancing all that. So there's a lot of opportunities all the time, it's more just finding the ones that also fit your schedule and are very balanced with what she wants to achieve - and she's very focused on potentially becoming No. 1 in the world.'' Paul補充，老實說，機會很多，很多人要她空出時間，更多的賽事要求Sam 去當班底，所以要找到能切合WTA 賽程，同時又能兼顧Sam 想達成的目標 - 成為世界第一。(驚!) He said the new endorsements would be significant. ''They are what any grand slam champion would be getting. She's been in the top 10 two years in a row, but winning a grand slam takes everything to another level. Every facet's changed because being a grand slam champion carries with it so much more. Even though she was a finalist last year, to actually break through and win one's been pretty significant for her.'' 他說，新的贊助商來頭不小，它們一直致力於拿到任何大滿貫冠軍的合約，Sam 連兩年排名收在Top10 裡，獲得美網冠軍又將此成就推向另一層次，它改變了一切，縱使Sam 去年已獲得法網亞軍，但能真正突破奪冠，對她來說意義重大。 Having finished the season at No. 6 and with official prizemoney for the year of $3.73 million, Stosur is spending her post-season break at her new home in Sydney before a December exhibition debut in Singapore. She is scheduled to contest the upgraded Brisbane International from January 1, then complete her Australian Open lead-up in Sydney. 今年Sam排名以第6名作收，總獎金達373萬美元，賽季結束後，Sam 一直呆在雪梨的新家休息，12月去新加坡參加表演賽。接下來就是澳網系列賽了。 Meanwhile, Open tournament director Craig Tiley has confirmed that Damir Dokic will be denied a Melbourne Park accreditation should he request it, despite his recent reconciliation with daughter Jelena. Dokic snr was banned from WTA tournaments after a string of ugly incidents a decade ago, and although the grand slams are not strictly bound by tour rules, Tiley said the Australian Open, WTA and ATP ''support each other with regards to eligibility for accreditation. Based on this, Damir would not receive accreditation.'' 題外話，澳網賽會總監Craig Tiley基於Dokic父親過往惡行，以及考量賽會種種規定，仍將他拒於澳網門外，即使父女倆已言歸於好。 http://tinyurl.com/7lp7xv5 希望新加坡表演賽有轉播 ~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.40.79.113
