The world No. 8 from Krakow, Poland will become an official ambassador for Lotos and wear the company patch on her visor during events on the women’s WTA Tour, her management company IMG said in an emailed statement.

It's the first tennis sponsorship for Lotos, which is also an endorser of the Polish national soccer team.

Radwanska, 28, is a big star in her home country. Her vast array of unusual strokes have earned her nicknames including “The Professor” and “The Ninja.” She has been voted the sport’s most popular player by WTA fans for six consecutive years (2011–2016).


In the past six months, Radwanska added three more deals: with cosmestics brand Inglot, Srixon tennis rackets and Profbud, a high-end real estate developer in Poland. As part of her partnership with Profbud, Radwanska has become the face of the brand’s luxury apartments in Warsaw
There is no doubt that Agnieszka is one of the most impressive players of her generation,” said Fernando Soler, senior vice president of IMG’s tennis division. “We’ve very pleased to have brought these opportunities to her, proving her incredible marketability and long-term business potential, as well as the power of IMG.”
Radwanska reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 in 2012, when she lost a close Wimbledon finals to Serena Williams. She has won 20 singles titles and 2 doubles titles, and amassed more than $26 million in prize money. Her biggest victory to date came in 2015, when she captured the season-ending WTA Finals for the top eight players in the world.

Members of Utah's gymnastics team will get back to work in the coming days to prepare for the NCAA regionals on April 1 after a few days of rest and light work to let their bodies recover. The fourth-ranked Utes are the top seed in the Fayetteville, Ark., regional, where they will compete against No. 9 Denver, No. 16 Cal, No. 21 Auburn, No. 27 Arkansas and No. 28 Central Michigan. The Utes, who won the Pac-12 title with a season-high 197.925, continue to put their focus on clean landings, the one area in which they feel they can improve, Utah co-coach Megan Marsden said. The Utes are using practice competitions and other means to focus on the landings. "They enjoy competition among themselves, and it helps to have a reason and purpose at this point in the year to keep it fresh," Marsden said. The good news is the Utes feel they can focus on the details because their training has been solid throughout the season. If anything, the coaches are toeing the line bet...
