Jarkko will be playing "head to toe" with Wilson

Jarkko Nieminen will start 2009 playing "head to toe" with Wilson. In addition to his long standing racket contract with Wilson, the top 40 player will debut Wilson's new apparel & footwear at this year's Australian Open.

Wilson will be working closely with Jarkko as he will be wearing different collections throughout the year that feature premium technical fabrics as well as integrating Wilson's apparel technologies including: nanoUV™ (sun protection), nanoWIK™ (moisture management and quick dry technology), and nanoBAN™ (anti-microbial protection). Another key element of Jarkko's switch to Wilson is the fit, performance, and on-court stability support focus that Wilson has developed for their footwear. Jarkko will also be wearing different footwear models that are more closely tied to the various surfaces he will compete on throughout the year.

"I am thrilled to be the first all Wilson athlete. Wilson continues to be on the cutting edge of racket technology and I am very excited to be part of their evolution to apparel and shoes. There is nothing more important to an athlete than their equipment and Wilson delivers the athletic, energized and powerful feel I look for."
