Nexen Tire (CEO Lee Hyun-bong) announced that it has become an official sponsor of the “MercedesCup”, a part of the ATP World Tour 250 series, to strengthen its brand awareness in Europe.
The MercedesCup is a tennis tournament with 100 years of history in Europe. This year, it will take place from June 6 to 14 at Tennis Club Weissenhof, and world-class players like Rafael Nadal will participate in the tournament.
