Nasser bin Ghanem al-Khelaifi, Chairman of the Supreme Organizing Committee of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open (QEMO) and President of the Qatar Tennis Federation (QTF) has said that QEMO is a platform that brings together tennis fans from all over the world.
Al-Khelaifi said the tournament’s organising committee was keen to provide an exceptional sporting experience that meets everyone’s aspirations, whether players, fans or partners.
He added that this year’s edition represents a historic milestone in the tournament’s journey, as Qatar celebrate its promotion to the 500-point category after 32 years of service. He said the new milestone reflects the great status the tournament enjoys among the tennis fraternity.
“QEMO won the Best Tournament award in the 250 category for the sixth time last year, continuing the series of successes achieved in the years 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022.
“As we enter this new category, we seek to enhance the championship’s legacy and raise it to higher levels by paying attention to the smallest details to ensure a unique and smooth experience for all championship visitors,” he added.
Al-Khelaifi concluded by saying: “I extend my sincere thanks to the volunteers, sponsors, support teams, and everyone who contributes to the successes achieved by our tournament year after year. It has been a joyous ride throughout the tournament’s history.”
