Our game, players, tournaments and fans have all evolved, and so too has our storytelling. This Is Tennis aims to engage with our younger fans and build emotional bonds with the ATP Tour. It’s rooted in bold and brave thinking, and emotive human storytelling that really shines through on the launch film. There are so many incredible narratives in play this season, and the campaign captures the excitement and motion of it all.”
