Founded in 1965, Joma broke onto the tennis scene in 2008, signing Lopez to a multiple year contract. Do Joma really need to focus more on signing some more top players or should they just just try to actually produce quality clothing?

Joma is a key brand in football, which is very competitive market, so diversification is a great idea.
