As official airline of the ATP World Tour and title sponsor of the
ATP Rankings, Emirates supports professional tennis on a global level,
said Sir Maurice Flanagan, Executive Vice Chairman of Emirates Airline &
Group. "By enabling fans to get closer to tennis legends and to interact
with them directly via Google+ Hangouts, we are able to share our
passion for the sport and to give our customers rewarding, once in a
lifetime experiences."
Currently ranked number one, Novak Djokovic also held the top ranking
by the ATP in 2011 and 2012 and is considered by many to be one of the
greatest tennis players of all time, winning six Grand Slam singles
titles.
Emirates launched its Google+ page in September 2012, attracting
nearly 500,000 fans in the first five months, making it one of the most
active and followed pages on the social platform. The Emirates Google+
page enables fans to share their passions for photography, travel and
aviation.
Social media plays a key role in the airline's evolution from a
travel brand to a global lifestyle brand. As well as its Google+ page
and YouTube channel, Emirates also has a strong Facebook presence with
over 1.3 million fans.
Emirates will be hosting Google+ Hangouts with top ranking tennis
players throughout the ATP World Tour. Tennis fans can register their
