YORK, Jan. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl
Capital Inc. ("Blue Owl") (NYSE: OWL), a leading alternative asset
manager, announced today a marquee sponsorship agreement to expand
their presence at all Grand Slam tournaments in 2025 and become the
exclusive financial services partner for professional tennis'
Player Patch Program.
Blue Owl's logo will be featured on the shirt of select players
competing across men's singles, women's singles, mixed doubles,
men's doubles and women's doubles competitions at this year's
Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open tournaments.
In addition to Blue Owl's presence on the courts, the firm will be
featured in iconic Melbourne
transit hubs, social media and digital media during the Australian
Open in an effort to raise brand awareness within the country and
the broader APAC market.
Blue Owl Chief Marketing Officer Suzanne
Escousse said, "Just as Blue Owl is redefining alternative
investing, we are supporting established and emerging professional
players who are redefining the game of tennis. Tennis is a truly
worldwide sport requiring peak performance in critical,
high-pressure moments. This is the same ethos that underpins Blue
Owl and allows us to focus on delivering results for our
international client base. Following the success of our involvement
with the Patch Program at the 2024 US Open, and given Blue Owl's
established presence within the country, Australia is the perfect place to kick off our
presence across Grand Slam tournaments."
Blue Owl has also partnered with Australian tennis professional
Jordan Thompson, who will serve as
the firm's Athlete Ambassador at the 2025 Australian Open –
January 12-26 in Melbourne. Most recently, Thompson won the
men's doubles at the 2024 US Open, where he was wearing a Blue Owl
patch, and was a men's doubles finalist at Wimbledon in 2024. He
has also registered victories over several top-10-ranked opponents
in singles competitions and previously represented Australia at the Olympics and the Davis Cup.
Thompson will be one of several competitors wearing Blue Owl's logo
throughout the tournament.
Jordan Thompson said: "Blue Owl
is focused on delivering excellence for its clients, which makes it
a great fit for a partnership with professional tennis players.
Support from firms like Blue Owl is tremendously beneficial for
players who are preparing for career-defining events, especially
the four Grand Slams. Our shared core values, including striving
for success in every step of our journeys, whether that be in the
financial services industry or competing as a professional athlete,
is a perfect match. Alongside my coaches, my doubles teammate(s)
and tennis fans, Blue Owl will play a key role for me here in
Melbourne at the 2025 Australian
Open."
