Getronics, International Sponsor and Official ICT Solutions and Service Provider of the Davis Cup, and the International Tennis Federation (ITF) will announce a new Speed Serve Competition at the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas tie between The Netherlands and Canada in Maastricht, The Netherlands, on 6-8 February.

The Speed Serve Competition will be the showcase for the new Speed Serve system sponsored by Getronics, where
the fastest professional Davis Cup serves will be tracked throughout the year. The Davis Cup player who delivers the
fastest serve throughout the competition will receive a state-of-the-art wireless mobility computer system from
Getronics. The rankings of the 10 fastest serves will be displayed on the ITF and Getronics websites.

Additionally, later this year Getronics will set up an amateur version of the ‘Fastest Serve of the Year Competition’.

The competition will use a purpose built tennis simulator to measure the serves and fans will be able to follow their
world ranking by comparison to other amateurs and the professionals competing in Davis Cup. A Getronics Trophy
will be commissioned for both the professional and amateur competitions, and winners’ names will be inscribed
each year.

Further, Getronics will make a donation of $1 to the ITF Tennis Development Fund every time a player serves an ace
in Davis Cup action and a further donation of $1,000 each time a player breaks the world speed record in Davis Cup
World Group and World Group Play-offs up to a maximum of $10,000. The development programme includes ITF
touring teams, funding for junior and professional tournaments, training centres, coaches’ education and the supply of tennis equipment.
