Question

Ivanovic signs contract with Rolex!! She's moving up the line and is slowing catching Maria!!?

Answer 1

Ana Ivanovic is a nice person. btw #1Novak are you from serbia ?! Im shocked that both william sisters were knocked out today. Im not sure who will make the final well i reckon maria sharapova not sure from the other side of the draw tho. Jelena or Ana who do you prefer out of those two serbian players ?!

Vamos Rafa ! :) x*x

Answer 2

No she's not catching Maria. Don't forget Maria just signed with Tiffany & Co.!

Maria has a lot more sponsors than Ana (12 to 5).

Ana hasn't got much sponsors because she isn't american and can't commercialize the products much. She only commercializes the products in Europe and in the buyers are mostly from America.

Answer 3

Maria will always be bigger than Ivanovic.  She came first and has more titles.  Maria also has the status.  8/10 people will know who Maria Sharapova is, while only about 1/10 people will know who Ivanovic is.

Answer 4

i agree with everyone who says maria is maria and no one can be her. ana is moving up but she'll never meet the status of maria well at least thats my opinion i mean they're teh same age and yet maria is beating her by miles with endorsements and yep thats true, she's got the american market and is way better known than ana

Answer 5

No one will ever be like M. Sharapova. Ana may go up one step, but Maria will be on a totally diffrent level by that time...

Answer 6

Maria is Maria, she is still the top earner for Women in Sports . And she is the closet thing Americans have as their own, she is pretty much American.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ana.  But lets see if she can win a Grand Slam this year.

Answer 7

No, I don't think so. Maria is still the highest paid. She gets paid for her endorsements in a year much more than her all time tennis career prize money.

Answer 8

maria has way more publisisity that her

she is on like all the magazines and is higher in the rankings..number one.

Answer 9

I don't think she's ever really going to catch up to Maria. Maria just makes SO much money from endorsements and I doubt that Ana is ever going to sign multiple huge contracts like Maria does pretty much every year. Also whenever Maria resigns contracts she gets more money for them.

Answer 10

Maria is far from Ivanovic... Maria is known for about 4yrs. while Ana is just starting. I don't think that there are the one to be discuss regarding catching things... Maybe it should be Ivanovic and Jankovic. Both seems to have same character, year of surge (almost)and obviously... same nation. The 1st one to win a GS will lead first...

Answer 11

no, she's not. maria has an american appeal than ana because she grew up in america and even speaks and behaves more as an american than a russian. as a result, she makes big bucks for the company she is endorsing because the US is still the biggest market in the world. americans just adore her. she's laughing all the way to the bank even if she loses a match.

Answer 12

Maria already has a contract with Tag, which is likely more expensive than Ana's contract with Rolex. The thing about Maria is, in addition to her beauty, she speaks perfect English. She makes a great spokesmodel, and that is why she is getting so much endorsement. Ana's problem is that she speaks English with a thick accent and limited vocabulary.

But yes, Ana is catching up to her. She has a winning personality, and Maria is tiring the tennis crowd with her shrieks and attitude on the court (not me though, Masha rocks!!)

Answer 13

maria is still the top earner!

Answer 14

I disagree with most of the answers here above. I think that Ana has a great chance to catch or even overcome Maria in that aspect as well. She is same, if not even more beautiful, has great personality and its only matter of time when she will attract at least as much sponsors as maria has

Answer 15

Good for her. Maria won't keep her nr.1 for long, u'll see ;)
