“We are overjoyed to become the official betting partner of the MercedesCup as we continue to showcase our support of Tennis around the world and we look forward to being part of such a historic event,” Betway chief executive Anthony Werkman said.
MercedesCup tournament director Edwin Weindorfer added: “In challenging times like these, we are very happy to have agreed on a sponsoring deal for the MercedesCup with a worldwide successful company like Betway.”
