Novak
Djokovic won the tournament,
but Qatar Airways says it and the region were the big winners of the
recently concluded 2017
Qatar ExxonMobil
Open.
“Qatar Airways was thrilled to support the Qatar leg of the ATP
World Tour and to welcome professional players to Doha, who both
delight and entertain spectators and inspire the next generation of
sportsmen and women,” Akbar Al Baker, Qatar Airways Group chief
executive, said. “Qatar Airways has long been an ambassador for
sport and partnerships such as the one we have with the Qatar Tennis
Association and ATP World Tour, which enable us to promote the values
of sport and to connect and celebrate with fans across the world.”
It
was Djokovic’s second
consecutive victory at the tournament, which was co-sponsored by
Qatar Duty Free and took
place at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex.
During
the tournament, the airline hosted an interactive
booth at which
visitors could practice their tennis skills via a virtual tennis
tournament.
“Qatar Duty Free is delighted to have been
a sponsor of the event and to have welcomed visitors and the
community of Qatar to our booth, which offered the chance for them to
win and take home their own life-changing prize fund via the QDF
Millionaire Draw,” Luis Gasset, senior vice president of Qatar
Duty Free, said.
