Mirza has used both Nike and Adidas attire this Wimbledon!
An interesting piece of news we came across earlier today from Campaign Asia.
"Mirza started the tournament wearing a Nike top while the rest of her attire, including her cap and shoes, were Adidas. In the subsequent game, the Nike top was replaced by all Adidas attire, suggesting there was a sponsorship deal in place. However, when she took to court on Saturday, 3 July, she was back with a mixture of Adidas and Nike." - 7 July 2021 3:09 PM GMT
