    I think they tend to focus more on sponsoring up and coming junior players as well as players who are very good in there country but not playing regularly in international tournaments.

    What about Matthew Hughes, that doublesplayer from Wales? I thought he had a Tour Gel in his hand last time I saw him...

    I'm guessing he's not looking for a local-hero, but more of a international-player type deal ;)

    Hang on though, I saw your result from your match in the Euro Club Team Championships, you beat Toth, who is a top 150 player.

    I've noticed that as well. Karakal seem to be one of those strange brands - like Yehlex and Fleet - that are well-known for producing decent quality rackets and accessories but do not have the same pedigree or pulling power as say, Victor or Yonex when it comes to the major sponsorship(s). Even the legendary and ubiquitious PU Supergrip, which is arguably the most popular selling replacement grip of all time, appears to be a rarity amongst pro players.
