Star attraction - sales pitch: when it comes to big money in sport, winning isn't everything
Article Abstract:
Athletes in individual sports such as tennis more easily build national recognition than team-sports players.

The marketability of Australian stars such as Pat Rafter and Kirean Perkins is analyzed, along with the doubling of Australian sports sponsorship, to $700 million annually, since 1990.
