Chinese sportswear manufacturer Anta has signed Jelena Jankovic, the top-ranked female tennis player, as brand ambassador. Jankovic, whose contract with Reebok recently expired, will start wearing Anta sports apparel, shoes and accessories worldwide starting at the 2009 Australian Open.


The 23-year-old tennis star has co-designed the sports range with Anta under the name JJ, in a deal that is said to be one of the biggest ever in women’s tennis.
