Major incentive for #tennis pros at the #mercedescup: the new #eqs is the official winner’s car

Stuttgart. Good news for all #tennis fans: after the #mercedescup could not be held last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it will be time again in June for “game, set and match” at Stuttgart’s TC Weissenhof. The 42nd #mercedescup will take place from 7 to 13 June 2021 and will feature a top-class field. The winner of the tournament will receive a very special prize – the new #eqs: the first all-electric Mercedes-Benz in the luxury class. Shortly before the start of the tournament, the #eqs had been hovering high above the grass courts.

For the 42nd time, the Stuttgart brand with the star is the title sponsor of the #mercedescup. Numerous international #tennis professionals have already confirmed their participation, despite a scheduling overlap with the French Open Grand Slam tournament. Besides the currently best German player, Alexander Zverev, the 19-year-old next-gen star Jannik Sinner from Italy will also be playing at Weissenhof. This however depends on his performance at the tournament in Paris. Furthermore, Germany’s number two Jan‑Lennard Struff and the three Canadians Denis Shapovalov, Milos Raonic and Felix Auger-Aliassime also plan to set course for Stuttgart.

“As the title sponsor of the #mercedescup, we are very pleased that the tournament can take place after the interruption last year,” says Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Mercedes‑Benz AG, responsible for Marketing & Sales. “The #mercedescup is the first stop of the grass court season, and the outstanding field of participants speaks for itself. I am excited to see which player will triumph and take home the new #eqs.”

The winner’s car, the new #eqs (electrical consumption NEDC combined: 20.0-19.1 kWh/100 km; CO2‑emissions: 0 g/km)[1], is a great incentive for the #tennis pros. The all-electric luxury saloon from Mercedes‑EQ enthuses with ranges of up to 770 kilometers (according to WLTP) and an output of up to 385 kW. This means that the #eqs also meets the demands of a progressive saloon in the S-Class segment in terms of powertrain. The MBUX Hyperscreen is one of the highlights in the interior of the new #eqs. The large, curved screen elegantly spans almost the entire width from left to right A-pillar. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an important role here: with adaptive software, the display and operating concept fully adjusts to the user and makes personalized suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions. The #eqs will be an eye-catcher at Stuttgart’s Weissenhof.

The matches will be played on grass for the sixth time and are an important yardstick for the players in preparation for the legendary tournaments on the same playing surface. To be able to react to developments at the French Open at short notice, qualifying will begin on Monday, 7 June 2021, with the main draw starting one day later on Tuesday, 8 June 2021.
