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.
“I am thrilled to partner
with the Qatar Tennis Federation to once again bring the prestigious
Qatar ExxonMobil Open men’s tennis tournament to our home, Doha,” Akbar Al Baker, chief executive of Qatar Airways Group. “This important extension to the ATP World Tour 250
Series celebrates the very finest in men’s tennis, providing
international and local audiences a thrilling six-day festival of
elite sport.”
The Qatar Open is the first event in the annual ATP World Tour 250 series of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) World Tour
