Roger Federer 'looking forward' to driving onto court at Laver Cup
In a statement to Mercedes-Benz, Roger Federer shared his excitement for the partnership between Laver Cup and the popular car brand. Some companies like Credit Suisse waited until the end of last year after two editions to see whether the tournament worked or not, while Mercedes was there from 2017 in Prague. "The Laver Cup is something very special and unique for me. I appreciate that Mercedes-Benz have been a partner of the Laver Cup from the very beginning. This year, I’m looking forward to driving onto the court at the Laver Cup in the EQC together with the best tennis players in the world," said Federer.
Bettina Fetzer, Head of Mercedes‑Benz Cars Marketing, added: "The Laver Cup brings together a number of players from Europe and the world in two teams – a highlight for any tennis fan. The tournament proves the spirit of the age and combines tradition, innovation and team play. With the EQC, we want to do our part for this modern and visionary event. The will to rethink things in an unconventional way – that is also what drives us in the area of mobility every day."
The CEO of the Laver Cup, Steve Zacks, concluded: We’re delighted Mercedes-Benz, a sponsor of the Laver Cup since our inception, has chosen to include more than 40 all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQC vehicles in the tournament fleet for the first time here in Geneva. Like the Laver Cup, these vehicles embody innovation and are engineered for the changing times. We are all excited to experience the EQC and take a glimpse into a new era of driving."
