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.

OUR YOUNGSTARS

RADO YOUNGSTARS

Rado is proud of its latest tennis initiative, the Rado YoungStar programme. Launched in 2015, the programme is designed to support up-and-coming young tennis players with the objective of creating an international team of talented, ambitious players with the potential to become the next generation of tennis stars.
JASON WU

Born in Hangzhou, China, Jason (Yibing) took up the game of tennis at the young age of six. Jason already has a number of accomplishments to his name since he began playing professionally. He enjoys the distinction of being the youngest winner of the Chinese Grand Prix (2016) and the only Chinese male junior to have been ranked #1 at a major event (Australian Open 2017). Also the winner of a Davis Cup match (vs. Taiwan, 2016) and the Anning Futures 2016, Jason is tipped to be the first Chinese top 100 ATP player.
ASHLEIGH BARTY

With one WTA singles title and five WTA doubles titles under her belt, Ashleigh is a proud addition to Rado’s line-up of young athletes. The young Aussie was a Junior Wimbledon champion at 15 and a Fed Cup representative and three-time Grand Slam doubles finalist by 17. At age 21, Ashleigh became the highest-ranked Australian player and one of the most exciting prospects in women's tennis. Her achievements include winning the 2017 Malaysian Open and breaking into the WTA top 20 with a career high ranking of 17.
