No one can accuse Maria Sharapova does not plan ahead. While Andy Murray was sporting his new range of Adidas clothing in the build-up of Australia's Open next week - a deal worth up to £ 15 million in five years, including bonuses - Sharapova has signed the deal today the most lucrative ever for a sports car, worth $ 70m (£ 43m) to Russian longer than eight years.
The agreement with Nike, revealed by Bloomberg News, exceeding the previous peak, a contract of 45 million dollars over five years given to Venus Williams, the five-time Wimbledon champion. It would be a monumental deal at any time, but especially in the current economic climate, when companies are increasingly reluctant to be associated with big sports stars.
The recent revelations about the private life of the golf world No1 Tiger Woods companies have put even more on the edge. Woods is the first sport to pass the mark of 1 billion dollars in career, including approval, but Sharapova, who design a range of tennis clothing, as part of the transaction, it is clearly seen as a safe bet.
