GO MARKETS ANNOUNCED AS NEW PARTNER
Top-ranked American Taylor Fritz and former US Open Champion Marin Cilic are the latest headline acts for the Care A2+ Kooyong Classic in 2023, with Australian-owned online brokerage, GO Markets also announced as a new tournament partner.
Fritz and Cilic join two of tennis’ most outstanding young players in new world No.1, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, and Australian star Alex de Minaur at the tournament from Tuesday, January 10, to Thursday, January 12, at the Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club.
Fritz advanced to the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time at this year’s Australian Open, reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final at Wimbledon and achieved a career-high ranking of No. 12 in July.
Earlier this year he snapped the 20-match winning streak of Rafael Nadal to capture the Indian Wells title, his third ATP Tour singles championship.
“I’m very much looking forward to playing at Kooyong for the first time and experiencing the Club,” said Fritz.
The matches I get to play there will be the perfect preparation for the Australian Open.”
Ranked 16 in the world, Cilic has won 20 ATP Tour singles titles, and owns an incredible Grand Slam record having reached the final of Wimbledon and the Australian Open and highlighted by his famous victory in the 2014 US Open.
This year Cilic has established himself in the World’s Top 20 and upset world No. 4 Daniil Medvedev on the way to the French Open semi-finals at Roland Garros.
Care A2+ Kooyong Classic tournament director Peter Johnston said the signings of Fritz and Cilic alongside de Minaur and Alcaraz already solidifies the tournament as an event not to be missed.
“It’s fantastic to have Taylor playing at Kooyong for the first time and to welcome Marin back for the 2023 tournament,” said Johnston.
“With these two stars, Alex and the newly crowned US Open champion and World number 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the field, the 2023 Care A2+ Kooyong Classic is shaping up as a “must see” for fans in January. We look forward to announcing more players shortly.
“It’s great to have the support of GO Markets, building momentum and excitement for the return of the tournament to Australia’s Summer of tennis.”
The Kooyong Classic has attracted legends of the game regularly to compete since its inception more than three decades ago. A world-class field assembled when the Kooyong Classic was last played in 2020 and another quality field is assured in 2023 when the tournament returns bigger and better than ever.
The 2023 event will be supported by GO Markets, an award winning Australian-owned online brokerage, offering premium trading services. The partnership has been made possible by Kooyong Classic’s marketing partner, MediaPro Asia.
