Additionally, Xerox has signed on to become the “Official Supplier of Office Document and Technology Services” through 2015. Xerox was also recently announced as the WTA’s new global marketing partner for business services and office document technology. At the BNP Paribas Open, the media center, which hosts hundreds of international journalists over the fortnight, will be renamed the XEROX Media Center.

 

“We are excited to extend the partnership between the BNP Paribas Open and three of our Premier Sponsors – Emirates, Fila and Bulova – through 2015 and welcome a new Premier sponsor, Xerox, onboard,” said Simon. “The on-site activation of Emirates, Fila and Bulova has elevated the fan experience at the event, and we look forward to continuing on this path of success. Additionally, we welcome Xerox as a new Premier Sponsor and are eager to work with them to continue to enhance the event.”

 

Emirates will once again host the Emirates Garden Club, a premium hospitality area that highlights Emirates brand accents. On Emirates Day, Saturday, March 9, fans can participate in stadium promotions to win great prizes including tickets to the finals or round-trip airfare from Los Angeles to Dubai. In addition, this year fans can visit the Emirates “Lifestyle Booth” to give visitors an authentic Emirates experience by bringing the world-class service and exquisite hospitality characteristic of the brand to the tournament grounds.

 

Fila, the official apparel and footwear sponsor of the tournament, has designed an exclusive uniform collection for more than a thousand volunteers, ball kids, line judges, umpires and staff since 2000. At the Fila shop on-site, fans can pick up the latest in tennis, fitness and lifestyle fashions and BNP Paribas Open branded merchandise. This year, Fila will debut a licensed accessory collection, as well as tournament branded footwear.
