Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between two types of performances, one on the ground (of a tennis court) and the other on the floor (of the stock market). The empirical application looks into the tennis player, Rafael Nadal, and his endorsing firms. The findings show a positive reaction in the market value when the tennis player wins matches in the Grand Slams, the intriguing effect being the diminishing sensitivity pattern that such reaction shows and the absence of loss aversion.

Notes
We also control for outliers by applying the 5 % trimming fraction, and the same nonsignificant results are found in the three ANOVAs: F = 0.003 (p = 0.956), F = 1.277 (p = 0.262), F = 0.202 (p = 0.654).
