The Other Wimbledon Winner

Traditions are traditions and so either Roger or Novak will walk away with the traditional Wimbledon trophy today but there was another winner at Wimbledon this year. This player may not have won a slam in fact he didn't even make the final but as far as prestige, bragging rights and more importantly sponsorship deals he was a huge winner at Wimbledon. What he did was take out the number one player and not just any number one player. Beating Nadal at a slam can be career defining. Maybe they should give any player that can do it a trophy?

Rafael Nadal win means world is Nick Kyrgios' oyster, says celebrity agent Max Markson

The world is Nick Kyrgios' oyster after his sensational Wimbledon victory over world No.1 Rafael Nadal looks set to open the door to million-dollar contracts, says celebrity agent Max Markson
The high-profile manager, who lists Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela and Kim Kardashian as clients, thinks Kyrgios rocketing into the men's top 100 has started him on a path to potential career earnings in excess of $20 million – and that does not include endorsements.
Markson said Kyrgios' manager, John Morris, from Global Tennis Connections, would look to lock in two- or three-year deals, rather than just one-offs.

Watches, sunglasses, phones and breakfast cereals are all possibilities on the horizon.

Morris told The Canberra Times in January they would be selective about endorsements so that they could build a high-end brand similar to Nadal and Roger Federer.

"There will be fresh things as well ... if you're a breakfast cereal company, or a soft drink company, or health drink – marketers love fresh talent and love someone who's young,'' Markson said.

"He's inspirational and aspirational for the youth market.

"There's watches, sunglasses, telephones, there's all sorts of things. The world is his oyster, whatever he wants to do he'll be able to do."

It must be tough being Nadal when there is such a high price on your head.

I certainly enjoy a nice bowl of Rosol flakes whilst wearing my Darcis sunglasses.

Fixed that for you.

Any comments on the actual final, hawkeye?

I think she is busy making the commemorative Rafael Nadal trophy for anyone that defeats him

Already going to have to hand it out twice already this year!

Any comment on the actual tournament hawkeye? Murray lost, which I suspect was the most important thing for you.

If they dish them out to any player who beats Rafa at Wimbledon they're gonna need to make a lot of trophies.

Me too, preferably whilst lounging in my Soderling mankini.

You lot have no emotions.   

Welcome back, HE. You should watch the final match today, if you can.

HE WTF is this article? I wanted your return so badly but not this this kinda thread, come on get over the Nick's match.

I'm more impressed that this guy is a dead man's agent (Mandela)

actually I think, djokovic winning this and the way he did it (in great fashion) is the worst possible outcome for nadal
