Mercedes-Benz: Roger Federer continues to be a partner
NEON LEGACY Mercedes-Benz and Roger Federer have enjoyed a close partnership for 15 years. After the end of the tennis player's active career, the cooperation is to be expanded step by step.
With the joint initiative Neon Legacy, Mercedes and Federer are assuming social responsibility by supporting future generations of tennis players. Under Neon Legacy, a public tennis court in Abbey Wood, London, was extensively renovated in June this year and handed over to the local community by Roger Federer. Just before the Laver Cup, Roger Federer returned to the tennis court to train with children from Vancouver.
Projects around the world
Roger Federer: "It has always been my goal to give something back to tennis and society after my active career. With the extension of our long-standing partnership, Mercedes-Benz and I look forward to being able to implement the projects around the world."
Vancouver is the host city for this year's Laver Cup. The elite of the world's tennis meets once a year to honor tennis in general and the Australian tennis player Rod Laver in particular within the framework of this Cup.
Electric shuttles in use
Since the first edition in 2017, athletes from Europe have been competing against the top players from around the world in a unique team competition. And from the very beginning, Mercedes-Benz provided the fleet of vehicles for players, officials and selected guests. Team vehicles are two Mercedes EQE 500 in the colors blue and red.
