Dunlop Extends Endorsement Contract With Illingworth from SD Media March 1, 2012- Greenville, SC
- Dunlop, the leading brand in squash, today announced an extension to
its long term agreement with American squash player Julian Illingworth,
continuing a partnership that began when he was a junior player in
Portland, Oregon. Illingworth will continue to play and endorse Dunlop
squash racquets, balls, luggage and eyewear.
The winner of seven straight U.S. National titles, Illingworth recently
reached the 24th spot in the Dunlop PSA World Rankings, the highest
ranking any American has ever achieved in squash. He heads to Boston in
March with his Dunlop Biomimetic Pro GT-X 130, where he hopes to set
the record for the most ever consecutive U.S. National titles at eight.
"Julian is the preeminent American player in squash, and he's hoping to
set his legacy as the best ever U.S. player at the upcoming U.S.
Nationals. As the leading brand in the sport, Dunlop is very excited to
be a long-time partner with Julian and his ongoing success," said Steve
Hall, Director of Marketing for Indoor Sports. "Julian's game has
steadily improved, and his all-time high ranking is a testament to
that."
