Taylor Fritz‘s attire on the court has sparked speculation about his departure from Nike. Recently, he was spotted wearing Nike clothes from Miami 2022, hinting at a possible change in sponsorship. With the Indian Wells and Miami tournaments on the horizon, where players often make significant announcements regarding new sponsorships, the tennis world is curious about Fritz’s next move.

Options abound for the American player, with brands like New Balance, Lacoste, and even Wilson potentially vying for his endorsement. This potential change comes when Nike has been gradually reducing its presence in the tennis world.

Currently, Taylor Fritz holds the title of the number-one-ranked American on the ATP tour. Throughout his career, he has made it to three Grand Slam quarterfinals and has clinched more than seven ATP titles, amassing a prize money total exceeding $15 million.

Off the court, Taylor Fritz is in a relationship with social media influencer Morgan Riddle, whose online presence has introduced new audiences to the sport of tennis.

Zhang Zhizhen, the up-and-coming Chinese tennis star, has recently been appointed as the ambassador for luxury watch brand Hublot. With a burgeoning fan base in China, the world’s most populous country, this partnership seems like a natural fit.

His tennis career has been a steady ascent, marked by notable achievements. In 2023, Zhang reached the third round at both the US Open and the French Open. The year 2024 proved to be even more remarkable as he broke into the top 50 in the singles rankings. His crowning achievement came at the 2024 Australian Open, where he advanced to the doubles semifinals with partner Tomáš Macháč,  becoming the first Chinese man to reach this stage in a Grand Slam tournament.

Despite his dedication to tennis, Zhang also maintains a life beyond the court. In June 2022, he graduated with a degree in Human Resources Management from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, highlighting his commitment to education and personal growth.

He has earned over $2 million in prize money. With his rising profile, he is certain to attract more sponsors in the coming years.
