Double the joy for Hamburg's women's tennis! LOTTO Hamburg is supporting both the professional women's tennis tournament, the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open, which takes place from 19 to 26 July at Hamburg's Rothenbaum, and the Hamburg Wheelchair Open. Germany's largest women's wheelchair tennis tournament will also be held from 23 to 26 July on the Rothenbaum grounds. The world elite of wheelchair tennis will be in attendance. Two German players, Britta Wend and Katharina Krüger, will also be competing.
LOTTO Hamburg has been intensively involved in grassroots and elite sports in Hamburg for many years, and also focuses on disabled sports. For example, LOTTO Hamburg not only supports Special Olympics, but also Hamburg's wheelchair basketball team, the BG Baskets.
„We are delighted by the great commitment of LOTTO Hamburg to the Hamburg Wheelchair Open and the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open. Such partnerships help us immensely with our sustainable work. Together, we are not only sending an important signal for women's sport but also for parasport,“ explains Tournament Director Sandra Reichel.
„LOTTO Hamburg underlines the importance of inclusive top-level sport with this partnership. That is why we are very happy to support the Wheelchair Open being held at the traditional Rothenbaum venue. We wish the participants of both tournaments great success – and, of course, good luck too,“ says Henning D. Thiele, Managing Director of LOTTO Hamburg.
