Betway will also be integrated into the tournament’s social media and digital channels, with the brand and the event to collaborate to produce content.
The Rio Open is the only ATP Tour 500 event in South America and the only ATP Tour event in Brazil but has not been held this year due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Betway has strategically entered the tennis market over the past year and signed up as a sponsor of multiple tournaments including the European Open, the Generali Open, Nordea Open, Miami Open, Noventi Open and the Mercedes Cup.
Anthony Werkman, Betway chief executive, said: “Adding to our existing portfolio of tennis sponsorships, we’re delighted to become a premium partner of the Rio Open. The tournament is always contested by the sport’s top talent and having an association with it marks another proud moment for the Betway brand.”
