Fathead(R) Adds Three Aces To Tennis Roster

LIVONIA, Mich., May 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathead®, the leading brand in sports and entertainment graphic products, serves up the dramatic likenesses of three of tennis' most popular and captivating professional tennis players in the world.  Led by American tennis superstar Andy Roddick, he is joined by top 20 ATP World Tour singles player Tommy Haas, and  top WTA Tour Singles Player Aleksandra Wozniak. Fathead is best known for its officially licensed images of professional athletes, animated heroes, entertainment characters, team helmets and logos.

Fathead's new trio of tennis players have each entered into multi-year agreements with Fathead.  Roddick and Haas will be the first players on the ATP World Tour to brand Fathead images that capture the players in eye-catching, on-court action.  Wozniak is only the second player on the WTA Tour, following Maria Sharapova, to join the Fathead tennis roster.

"We are thrilled to have three of our clients at Lagardere Unlimited join the Fathead tennis roster.  With Andy and Tommy being the first ATP players on Tour to have their own Fathead images, I am confident their international popularity will grow the Fathead brand and products amongst the tennis fans and industry tremendously," commented Ken Meyerson, President of Lagardere Unlimited.  "I am excited to have a Fathead and hope tennis fans enjoy this fun promotion," added Andy Roddick.

These three accomplished athletes join the Fathead Team with astonishing tennis resumes. Roddick is a current Top 10 ATP World Tour singles player, the 2003 US Open Champion and recent 2010 Sony Ericsson Open Champion.  Haas, who has been ranked as high as No. 2 in the world, is known for his powerful single-handed backhand and incredible ability to adapt to his opponent's style or the court surface.  Wozniak is Canada's highest-ranked women's singles player in the world, known for her one-two punch of a huge backswing followed by a lightning fast whip-through.  

"Today, through an exciting new partnership with Lagardere Unlimited, we are able to provide fans of Andy, Tommy and Aleksandra's with Fatheads of these incredibly popular tennis stars," said Nathan Partington, Fathead VP of Licensing.
