RADO & TENNIS

History of Rado & Tennis

Rado has become synonymous with the world of tennis since it began sponsoring international tournaments over 20 years ago. In 2017 Rado is the Official Timekeeper of 17 international tournaments and is present with its signature corner clocks on clay, grass and hard courts. Rado’s link to the world of tennis was originally inspired by the spirit of challenge and determination. Just as players push themselves to achieve victory on court, Rado pushes itself to challenge the boundaries of traditional watchmaking, successfully mastering innovative materials and achieving what many once believed was impossible.

Precision timing

In a sport where matches can last for hours as they turn into an epic battle of wills, Rado precision timing systems ensure that every second counts and nothing is missed. With matches in major tournaments clocking up durations of almost six hours, time can be the factor that makes or breaks a champion. From full match duration, to the breakdown of time per set, Rado systems help players, fans and officials alike to track the progress of each match in a tournament.
