Maria Sharapova’s legs are so long, if we stood side by side, they would reach my Adam’s Apple. She is gorgeous. I saw her up close and her gamma ray countenance burned my forehead. Did I mention her legs are really long?
And keep in mind, she’s won Wimbledon and the Australian and US Opens. She’s got athletic cred. So it’s no surprise she's a highly sought after endorser.
In addition to Gatorade, she pitches or has pitched Nike, Motorola, Tag Heuer, Canon (“Make every shot a power shot!”), and of course Speedminton: The extreme racket sport that combines the best of tennis, badminton and racquetball!
Thank you, Maria, for promoting the sport of the future.
She’s as terrible an actress as she's always been, so she’s probably most effective in her print work. Her best performances on moving film are when she’s just playing tennis or holding her yappy little dog. Please don’t make her speak any more!
And now, as reported by Darren Rovell in his Sports Biz blog, she’s leaving Gatorade for Enlyten SportStrips, a new rehydration product similar to the way Listerine breath strips work.
Smart or not? We’ll see. She didn’t make a lot of waves pitching Gatorade. Maybe she’ll do better for an upstart. One word of advice to Enlyten: Don’t make her say anything, or at least let her hold her dog.

If she's handled correctly by her advisers, Maria could single-handedly save the economy. The more "exposure" this talented athlete gets, the better.
One interesting question about her endorsement power is, to whom is she most appealing? Men, who think she's hot? Women, who respect her talent? Young girls, who see her as a role model? Young boys, who think she's hot? All of the above? I actually think it might make more sense for her to endorse Cole Haan and Tiffany than Enlyten, because of her extreme beuaty and stylishness. You could argue Nike is perfect. A little sports, a little flash.
Let me know when she starts and where. I'll buy anything to see that...
