Hilton Shanghai Sponsors ATP Masters 1000

The Hilton Shanghai has signed on as an official Prestige Sponsor of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Masters 1000, which is scheduled to be held for the first time in Asia at the Shanghai Qi Zhong Tennis Centre from 10 to 18 October 2009.

The creation of the Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 resulted from the ATP and the Chinese Tennis Association's desire to develop the market of tennis in China.

With more than 100 of the world’s top male tennis players competing in 99 matches over nine days, the ATP Masters 1000 series will bring world-class tennis to Shanghai and will be one of the highest profile sporting events to be held in China this year.

The Hilton Shanghai will provide accommodation for more than 1,000 members of the international tennis community, counting players, coaches, officials, family members, sponsors and dignitaries during the ATP Masters 1000 event.

It will also supply catering services for some 80,000 guests at the weeklong tournament at the Shanghai Qi Zhong Tennis Center.

Hilton Shanghai General Manager, Mr. Guy Hutchinson said, “Being the only Masters event in Asia, the Shanghai ATP Masters 1000 is destined to stand out as the flagship event in China and in Asia. It is an ideal occasion for us to showcase our commitment and unparalleled experience in delivering outstanding service. All of us are very much looking forward to doing our very best for the event.”
