Isn't he paid by Adidas? She must be planning to pay him herself. Wow, what a concept for a player who's made it to No. 1.<BR/>It must be the money that's deciding things - I'd wear the same old white with black stripes if I were getting paid enough. Perhaps Adidas doesn't care about tennis anymore and isn't paying up?freakyfriteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11849509797502704715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253867020130053273.post-75084872614844501062008-09-22T19:22:44.858-04:002008-09-22T19:22:44.858-04:00should be very interesting to see if adidas will be able to keep ivanovic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
