Qatar Airways, Duty Free prove a tough team to beat

Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray at the recent Qatar Open, but Qatar Airways and Qatar Duty Free (QDF) showed tennis fans a different kind of "love."

The official Qatar airline and the two retail sponsors of the tennis tournament set up interactive booths in the Public Village Area of Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Stadium. Fans got a chance to play a virtual tennis tournament with the help of cabin crew from the airline, and could get pictures taken at QDF's tennis-inspired photo booth. QDF also gave everyone a chance to be a millionaire by entering a drawing to win a QDF Millionaire Ticket, worth $1 million.
