FeverTree actually out sells Schweppes in the UK. I think you need to try a different supermarket, Michael wink

Well worth a try

They are the premium end of the tonic market and seem to be the talk of the city in terms of the next big thing.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Over-rated as a tonic water, IMHO. Can't see what all the fuss is about.

But they go up in my estimation now they're sponsoring tennis

As per the other thread, shout out to Nature Valley for being the new sponsors of our big events.

Reposting here, as more appropriate

New sponser announced for Nottingham, Birmingham, and Eastbourne
"Nature Valley is to become the new title sponsor for the Lawn Tennis Associations prestigious ATP and WTA tournaments at Nottingham, Birmingham, and Eastbourne.

For the next three years the events will be known as the Nature Valley Open, the Nature Valley Classic and the Nature Valley International respectively."

looks like the grass court trophy series challengers now have a sponsor - Fuzion 100. I had never heard of them but they appear to make a range of healthy and energy drinks.

So with Fever Tree, Nature Valley and now Fuzion 100, the LTA have gone right into the food and drinks market place with sponsors.

Edit - seems they already have sponsorships wih a number of sports starts including Milos Raonic

Just a shout out to the Sussexsport scholarship scheme that Isaac Stoute has credited with his recent success:

"Sussexsport's Sport Scholarship Scheme has helped me reach that level, with access to expertise in sports psychology, nutrition and strength and conditioning.

"Terry Cooper, who runs the Scheme, has been a huge aid to my progress. He trusted in my vision, which enabled me to succeed."

Isaac has been on the Scholarship Scheme throughout his time at Sussex, which is delivered by Sussexsport and supported by the Sussex Fund through generous gifts from alumni and friends of the University."

I note that British player, Joanna Garland, based in Herts but playing under the flag of TPE, has just signed a sponsorship deal with RxCelerate

Katy Dunne and Harriet were also giving big shout-outs to LendyP2P

Well done to Wilts council for awarding £500 to 12 different young sporting hopefuls, including young Rebecca Heaps (made the semis, I believe, in the Halton TennisEurope event last month)

Danielle (Dani) Hacks was a name I hadn't seen before.

Playing the Tunbridge British Tour this week.

Put out the third seed 1 & 0

Seemingly she's a junior from Surrey who's sponsored by Premier Showfreight Ltd so bravo to them and good luck to her

Born2WinTennis · Club Coach

Are there not rules, that I think Evan Hoyt fell foul of about receiving money, making you ineligible for US College? Would Dani Hacks not fall into this category? Or is it just prize money, not money towards costs etc.

indiana · Tennis legend

Certainly no expert on the prize money and expenses rules but lots of players play British Tour during US College breaks.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

I believe there is a rule now that current college players can take up to $10k p.a. in prize money, as sort of a lump sum to cover expenses, as opposed to having to show specific expenses for each tournament.
Which seems sensible.
However, I don't know if this also applies before you're a college player.
Or if it only applies to prize money and not sponsorship as such.

Ummm, I must live in the wrong post code entirely, since i can't say I know 'Fever-Tree premium mixers' at all. As for the Fever-Tree Championships... well yes, it does leave me kinda feverish.. Now where's thavt Schweppes Tonic Water....
