The $50,000 challenger event in Onkaparinga, Australia, has renewed its sponsor for another year.
The tournament, which was upgraded to the challenger level a year ago, will see PowerHealth Solutions as its Platinum sponsor once again.
“PowerHealth Solutions enjoys supporting our community through sporting events like the ATP Challenger. This exciting week-long tennis tournament will bring international recognition to South Australia and inject money into the region,” said company executive Patrick Power, quoted in a statement.
While challengers often find it difficult to attract sponsors, the tournament at the Happy Valley Club was well received in its first year and got significant local publicity, helped by the participation of well-known names like Marcos Baghdatis. It is a nominee for Significant Sporting Event in South Australia.
The tournament’s timing in the first week of the season means that it gets a good field for its level. Top junior Taylor Fritz is scheduled to play.
Organizers also cited the online streaming of challengers the ATP provides as a positive for the tournament’s global visibility.
