NEC serves up Wheelchair Tennis Masters extension

Japanese IT services company NEC has renewed its title sponsorship agreement with the International Tennis Federation for its Wheelchair Tennis Masters tournament.

NEC, which has sponsored the Wheelchair Tennis Tour since its inception in 1992, will also continue as an official partner of the Tour for 2014.

Following on from last month’s edition in Mission Viejo, California, the 2014 Wheelchair Tennis Masters will be held at Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the London 2012 Paralympic tennis venue, on November 24-30. The event will be hosted by UK charity, the Tennis Foundation.

The Wheelchair Tennis Masters is the Tour’s end-of-year singles championship, featuring the top eight men and women players and top four quad athletes. It celebrates its 20th anniversary next year.
