Markazia Lexus Sponsors Lexus Tennis Festival for Third Consecutive Year

With a philosophy rooted in community engagement and the encouragement of local talents, Markazia Lexus will sponsor the annual Lexus Tennis Festival for the third year in a row, in collaboration with The Tennis Academy - Amman (TTA), the first institution of its kind in the Kingdom. The week-long festival will take place from 15 to 22 September, 2017, at the Academy in Al Hussein Youth City and will bring forward a plethora of exciting activities.

Featuring a ‘Family Tennis Day’ hosted by the world’s top tennis coach, Toni Nadal - uncle and coach to the world’s number one tennis player and 16-time Grand Slam winner, Rafael Nadal - the event will bring together some of Jordan’s most accomplished players for a fun-filled week of tournaments and tennis-related entertainment for people of all ages. The event will also include the Tennis Village, which will showcase Jordan’s coolest brands, a Tennis Masters with international female tennis players, and many worthwhile prizes.

“We are ecstatic to be sponsoring the Lexus Tennis Festival for the third consecutive year as we further solidify our partnership with the TTA. We at Markazia Lexus draw inspiration from the endurance and competitiveness earmarked by tennis players, which drives our determination to encourage local talents and stimulate interest in this truly awe-inspiring sport,” said Said Malhas, Lexus Marketing Manager at a press conference held on Wednesday 13 September, 2017. “Community is at the heart of everything we do and by sponsoring this festival, we advocate for a fit and healthy community strengthened by the camaraderie and sportsmanship encapsulated by tennis. In addition, having the legendary Toni Nadal join us on the courts echoes Lexus’ global tenets of excellence and the pursuit of perfection. This year, we hope to set a new precedent for the Festival, one that we will strive to top for years to come.”                                                                  

In turn, Toni Nadal commented, "After meeting the enthusiastic team from The Tennis Academy - Amman in Mallorca, I am looking forward to being a guest at the Lexus Tennis Festival. I have always enjoyed working with young players and so I look forward to sharing with them all, not only my knowledge and experience, but also my love and passion for this sport. I’m really excited about it!"
