Tennis star Sania Mirza was on Monday signed by world's leading sports brand addidas as its first global brand ambassador. Announcing this, Hartwin Feddersen, director of marketing, adidas India said: "Sania is one of the most recognisable faces of global tennis and is a youth icon amongst young Asians across the world. Her appeal goes well beyond tennis and the sporting world and it's only natural for us to use her as a global brand ambassador."
Commenting on the tie-up with adidas, Sania Mirza said: "I am extremely happy to be part of such a distinguished family of players and brand ambassadors. I have been associated with the brand as a junior and I believe adidas' experience and expertise will be a key part of my on-court performance. I am really looking forward to wearing the stylish 3-Stripes for many years to come." Sania thus officially earns her stripes and joins a long list of adidas superstars like David Beckham, Kak , Lionel Messi, Zin dine Zidane, Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting. |
