Abu Dhabi: Another stellar name has been confirmed for next month’s Mubadala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi with the addition of Emirates Motor Company (EMC) to the sponsor line-up.
Joining for the first time as the automobile sponsor in the nine-year history of the tournament, EMC will bring a range of Mercedes-Benz fan experiences to the season-opening tournament, in addition to providing luxury player transport to and from the event.
Speaking after the announcement of the new sponsorship on Wednesday, Frank Bernthaler, Chief Executive Automotive of Al Fahim Group, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with one of Abu Dhabi’s most exclusive events and helping to shape what will be an even more exciting tournament with EMC’s involvement.”
Organisers added that the annual tournament, which will be held at the International Tennis Centre at Zayed Sports City between December 29 and 31, promises to bring edge-of-seat entertainment for sporting fans.
Fans are promised world-class sporting entertainment with world number 2, Andy Murray, world number 4, Milos Raonic, and world number 13, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, three of the six star players who have already confirmed their attendance in the capital this December.
The winner will claim $250,000 (Dh918,237) in prize money after battling it out in the New Year’s Eve final.
In addition to the action, there will be off-court activities in the Tennis Village, including autograph signings and coaching clinics.
