OFS Insurance Brokers has signed a sponsorship deal with Tennis Otago.

The firm will become the naming rights sponsor for the 2018 Otago Indoor Open. It also took a right of renewal for the 2019 event.

“We are grateful for OFS Insurance Brokers’ support of an event that is gathering momentum each year,” Tennis Otago chairperson John Alexander said. “Early indications are that the field will be the biggest and best for many years, and OFS Insurance Brokers’ sponsorship will underpin that growth.”

OFS Insurance Brokers managing director Hunter Stevenson, meanwhile, said: “Tennis Otago has an exciting vision for its biggest annual indoor senior tournament and we’re proud to be part of it.

“As an Otago owned and managed company that likes to supports the local community, we’re excited to be supporting this tournament,” he added.

The 2018 OFS Insurance Brokers Otago Indoor Open will be held at Dundedin’s Edgar Centre on September 21-23. It will culminate in a finals day featuring catered courtside tables and ball kids. Tennis NZ High Performance director Simon Rea – the coach who guided Nick Kyrgios from 843rd in the world to a win against Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in 2014 – will be courtside to take in the action.
