Fan Guide Volvo Car Open April 4 – April 12, 2020 Charleston, Sc FAN GUIDE VOLVO CAR OPEN APRIL 4 – APRIL 12, 2020 CHARLESTON, SC CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF TENNIS IN CHARLESTON DEAR FANS, Welcome to the 2020 Volvo Car Open! This year we are celebrating the best in women’s tennis and our tournament’s 20th year on Daniel Island, in beautiful Charleston, SC. This tournament also represents our 48th year as a professional women’s tennis event on the WTA Tour. We are very proud to call Volvo Car USA our title sponsor for the fifth year. South Carolina is home to Volvo Cars’ first manufacturing plant in the US and their team is producing the all-new S60 sedan. There are nearly 1,500 employees at the plant in Ridgeville, SC working tirelessly to build this model for worldwide distribution. The all-new Volvo S60 will be on display at the tournament, along with Volvo’s full SUV range, including the award- winning 7-passenger XC90, XC60 and XC40. Take a test drive during finals weekend and experience Scandinavian luxury, unparalleled technology and human-centric innovation. Growing the game of tennis continues to be a priority for the Volvo Car Open. Last year, in conjunction with our partner Truist (formerly SunTrust Bank), we provided more than 10,000 tickets to children under the age of 16. We’re thrilled to continue this initiative in 2020. We will also be hosting a WTA “Future Stars” camp the week of the tournament for young women who demonstrate strong skills on the court and leadership off the court. Lastly, through our partnership with USTA, kids will have the opportunity to participate in the Net Generation program all week long. The future of this incredible sport is in good hands here in Charleston! As always, we strive to deliver an exceptional fan experience, both on and off the court. On the court, you will see a larger presence of video screens for fan enjoyment and interaction. In partnership with FoxTenn and the WTA, electronic line calling will be used for the first time ever at a WTA clay court event. This technology will allow our players and attendees to see the “real bounce” of the ball during player challenges. Fans will get to witness play from a world-class field of athletes, featuring multiple Grand Slam winners, top-ranked players and past Volvo Car Open champions. This year is shaping up to be our strongest field ever. Off the court, we will have bigger and better hospitality and dining options for attendees, with daily happy hours and live music offerings in all our destinations. Our opening Family Weekend, presented by MUSC Health, was a huge success at last year’s event. So, we’re bringing it back in 2020! Our special yoga event returns on semifinals Saturday, as well as our southern brunch on Easter Sunday. We are also excited to welcome GRAMMY Award winning artist and country music star Jennifer Nettles to Althea Gibson Club Court on Saturday, April 11 for a special performance. Don’t miss out on these unique opportunities to celebrate the best of Charleston during finals weekend of the Volvo Car Open! We can’t wait for you to join us for the finest experience in women’s professional tennis in America’s favorite city. The Volvo Car Open team, along with more than 500 volunteers and all of our partners, are here to make your stay special.
