Tennis South Africa (TSA) and Renault South Africa have announced a groundbreaking three-year partnership, with Renault South Africa coming on board as the federation’s official vehicle partner.
As part of this partnership, the national Davis Cup team will receive a significant boost, with Renault South Africa becoming the sponsor of the team. Moving forward, the national squad will be known as the Renault Davis Cup Team.
In addition, Renault South Africa has secured naming rights to TSA’s Masters Tennis category, which is designed for players aged 30 and over (previously called Seniors Tennis). The category will now be known as Renault Masters Tennis.
“This marks a new era and an exciting time for tennis in South Africa. We are thrilled to partner with a vibrant and forward-thinking brand like Renault,” said TSA General Manager Anthony Moruthane.
“This partnership is not just about transportation - it’s about elevating the entire tennis experience in our country. Our teams will now travel in style and comfort, ensuring they are ready to perform at their best wherever they go.
“Additionally, our officials and staff will enjoy seamless travel, making it easier to deliver world-class tournaments across South Africa. Together with Renault, we are driving tennis forward, one kilometre at a time!”
Renault South Africa’s Marketing GM, Lee-Anne Stanton, shared her enthusiasm for the partnership, "We are very thrilled to partner with TSA and be associated with tennis, not only as a mobility partner but also as part of the progression and upliftment of the sport in South Africa.
“Renault’s connection to the tennis world is already well established through our involvement with the Roland Garros Grand slam in Paris. Now, we are bringing that same energy to our local courts in South Africa.
“This partnership allows us to promote the Renault brand and showcase our vehicle range to an upmarket target audience while supporting a sport that brings communities together. We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to making a tangible impact on tennis with our extensive Dealer Network on board."
