Dr Charles Li, ANZ’s chief executive in China enthused about the agreement when he said: “The Shanghai Rolex Masters has quickly become one of the most pre-eminent events on the global tennis calendar, reaching a worldwide audience of more than 45 million.”

 

The October event was won this year by world no.1 Novak Djokovic is what was widely accepted as one of the highest quality finals of the year against Andy Murray and Li added: “ANZ has a long-standing presence in China and this partnership not only reinforces our long term commitment but also provides a valuable platform to help build our brand awareness across the region.”

 

Shanghai Rolex Masters tournament director Michael Luevano said: “ANZ is a well respected bank in Asia-Pacific and we are delighted to welcome them as one of the tournament partners. ANZ has a strong history supporting tennis in Asia-Pacific and its involvement in the Shanghai Rolex Masters will ensure a lasting legacy is left on the sport in China and the broader region.”

 

As part of the agreement, ANZ will also gain naming rights to the China Tennis Development Program, a grassroots initiative aimed at developing young talent and supporting the growth of the sport in the nation.
