Robe
proudly announces that it is a sponsor of team Czech Republic in the 2015 Fed
Cup tennis – the premier international women\’s tennis team
championship.
Continuing
its theme of ‘Working With Winners’ – first embraced with the Olympic spirit of
2012 – Robe is one of five major sponsors to the Czech team who are the
defending champions, and have been hugely successful in the tournament, winning
the Championship an impressive eight times.
Currently
some of the Czech Republic’s women’s tennis players are ranked among the best in
the world, and the quarter finals of the 2015 Fed Cup saw a robust performance
by the team in Quebec City, Canada at the weekend, defeating the hosts without
dropping a single set.
The first
day saw singles wins by world ranked no-22 Karolina Pliskova – who hit nine
aces and 24 winners in the 72 minute match – and Tereza Smitkova, followed up
by another resounding performance by Pliskova on Sunday to give the Czechs an
unbeatable 3.0 lead.
Czech doubles duo of Denisa Allertova and Lucie Hradecka also won their
match in two sets on the Sunday underlining a confident 4.0 victory.
Robe’s CEO
and General Manager Josef Valchar was there to watch these great matches unfold
and commented, “We are extremely proud
to be supporting our world class women’s tennis team. I witnessed some exciting
and nail-biting playing in Quebec City … in what I am sure is another
superlative season of on-court Fed Cup action!”
“Our young
and ambitious team benefited from the great experience of Lucie Hradecka in
adapting to the specific demands of this international tournament. The matches
and wins of this weekend were not just about incredible performance, but also
about lots of positive energy and team spirit”.
The deal
means that Robe’s branding will be prominent with the logo on the team’s
training clothes and official materials related to the matches.
Robe’s
clients and distributors will also benefit from VIP match access and event
hospitality at all the international events.
Marketing
Manager Jiri Baros commented, “We wanted to offer our colleagues and ‘Robe Family’ friends the opportunity to be
involved first-hand with the exhilarating and universally popular sport of
tennis! We are very vibed-up about supporting our fabulous team in their
endeavours. As a leading Czech manufacturer we are pairing up with some of the country’s
best sportswomen!”
The Czech
team now meet France team in the semi-finals in April, while last year’s
runners up Germany will compete against Russia.
