Tennis West has signed a 2-year sponsorship deal with leading sports equipment manufacturer Wilson as the ‘Official Ball of Tennis West’.

Tennis West welcomed the partnership with Wilson as a positive step forward for the West Australian tennis community.

Chief Executive Officer of Tennis West, Michael Robertson, reflects on his involvement with Wilson as a professional tennis player.

“Having played with Wilson racquets early in my career and using the Wilson ball over a long period of time, I am thrilled Tennis West will have an association with one of the world’s premier sports companies. Wilson’s commitment to both research and development and  the quality of products will ensure players of all levels in Western Australia will continue to maximise their performance and enjoyment.”

Commercial Manager of Wilson Racquet Sports, Anthony Voyage is also excited to partner with Tennis West.

“Wilson is certainly excited at the new opportunities that the Tennis West Agreement presents. We see the WA market as a sleeping giant, underpinned by fantastic weather and conditions ripe for growing the sport.  Through this formal partnership we will be actively engaged with those at the coal face of the sport in Western Australia and look forward to fostering a long lasting relationship and affiliation with players, coaches, clubs and retailers in this expansive region. We feel this is very much a natural decision for Wilson and we look forward to working closely with Tennis West in entrenching the sport of tennis in the hearts and minds of Western Australians.”
