On the morning of November 4th, the global ambassador of the tournament and tennis legend Ms. Steffi Graff visited Zhuhai again, and joined hands with Pavlyuchenkova, the representative of the tournament players, to climb to the top of Zhuhai Center, the tallest building in Zhuhai and Macao, and dedicated a tennis exhibition match from a height of 330 meters to the world.


 

This promotion with the theme of "Winning the Top of the Greater Bay Area" is also another creative promotion activity with "Zhuhai Memory" perfectly presented by Huafa Group, the organizer of the tournament, after last year's Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge tennis show, which not only perfectly integrates the elegant image of Graf with the charming temperament of the city of Zhuhai, but also brings the ever-changing changes and new image of Zhuhai to the world.

Located at the bridgehead of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the soon-to-be-put Zhuhai Center is 330 meters tall and is currently the tallest building in Zhuhai and Macau, overlooking the rising Zhuhai Shizimen Central Business District and the entire Macau area. At 9:40 a.m., Graf made a stunning appearance in a refreshing aqua blue silk shirt, joining hands with Melissa Pine, Vice President of WTA Asia Pacific, Garcia, Event Director of Zhuhai WTA Super Classic, Xu Rong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of Zhuhai Huafa Group Co., Ltd., President of Zhuhai Huafa Modern Service Investment Holding Co., Ltd., Chen Yu, Vice President of Zhuhai Huafa Modern Service Investment Holding Co., Ltd., Lv Pinde, Executive Director of Zhuhai Huafa Sports Operation Management Co., Ltd., Xiong Jianhua, President of APG, APG's Chief Operating Officer, Farris, and Pavlyuchenkova, the representative of the 2017 Zhuhai WTA Super Classic, came to the center of Zhuhai and climbed to the top platform of 330 meters high after a brief tour. Afterwards, Graf and Pavlyuchenkova had a unique tennis performance. Although she has been away from the court for many years, the Queen's heroic posture is still undiminished, with her nimble forehand and dexterous stride, her graceful posture and flying tennis ball blend with the blue sky at her fingertips, making for a captivating picture that can be called a classic.


After the event, Graf couldn't hide her excitement: "It's great to be back in Zhuhai and to experience tennis on such a special landmark and height. From last year's Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to this year's Zhuhai Center, I have felt the speed and excellence of the city. It is an honor to participate in and witness the growth of the city as the global ambassador of the WTA Super Classic in Zhuhai, and I am glad that Zhuhai is receiving more attention from around the world. Interestingly, in 2005, Agassi also experienced aerial tennis at an altitude of 200 meters on the top apron of the seven-star Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, and now the two can be said to have achieved the feat of "high tennis" in addition to the "Golden Slam".


 

Stepfi Graf entered professional tennis at the age of 13 and has 107 singles titles, including 22 Grand Slams and an Olympic gold medal, including the Golden Slam in 1988. In 2016, Graf was invited to serve as the global ambassador for the WTA Super Classic in Zhuhai for the first time, and in that year she visited China for the first time, taking photos on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. This year, the tournament and Graf have teamed up again, and it has also made a great story in tennis.


 

Xu Rong, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of Zhuhai Huafa Group Co., Ltd. and President of Zhuhai Huafa Modern Service Investment Holding Co., Ltd., said: Zhuhai Center is another urban landmark presented by Huafa for Zhuhai, and I am very happy to be here with such a special event, kicking off Graf's debut in Zhuhai this year. Just as his brilliant career achievements will forever be recorded in the history of tennis, every progress made by the Zhuhai WTA Super Classic, and every breakthrough made by Zhuhai's urban development in the opportunity of reform, are also worth paying attention to. I hope that with the help of Graf, both the event and the city will have a better tomorrow.



Founded in 2015 and hosted by Zhuhai Huafa Group, the Zhuhai WTA Super Classic is the highest-level international tennis tournament in South China and the entire Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao regions, representing the grand ambition of the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the development of the sports industry, and also reflecting Zhuhai's lofty pursuit of accelerating its integration with international standards. The continuous holding of this event has greatly enriched the spiritual and cultural life of the citizens in the region, effectively promoted the comprehensive development of Zhuhai's social, economic, cultural, sports and other related fields, and greatly enhanced Zhuhai's urban image and international influence.

 

 

Standing in the heart of Zhuhai in the Shizimen Central Business District, it is not only the height of the building that breaks through, but also the concrete expression of the great ambitions of this era, the city and the developers and builders. Located in the bridgehead of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Zhuhai Center has entered the world-leading business camp of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area by seizing the strategic opportunity period of the construction of the free trade zone and the integrated development of Hengqin bonded area. After Yaoshi debuted at the beginning of this year to launch global investment, the Zhuhai Center has quickly been sought after by the industry, and many headquarters-level enterprises such as high-end service industry and manufacturing industry have come to seize the commanding heights of the value of the Greater Bay Area, and the international platinum five-star hotel St. Regis is also in the renovation sprint stage and is expected to be put into operation in early 2018.


Later, Graff also unveiled the Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center, another landmark building in the Shizimen Central Business District, where she gave a tennis class to the public and interacted with the audience. Different from previous years, this year's tennis charity class was arranged at the Zhuhai International Convention and Exhibition Center, and Graf also appeared in a burgundy sportswear, which was quite a feeling of "hibiscus is not as good as beauty makeup, and the water hall is fragrant".


Graf Tennis is one of a series of charity activities at the WTA Super Classic in Zhuhai, and it is also a spin-off of Graf as the global ambassador of the tournament in the past two years. It aims to interact with children and fans up close, and feel the charm of tennis and celebrities. During the event, Graf not only shared his experience of past tennis matches with tennis enthusiasts, but also took friendly selfies with everyone and enthusiastically signed autographs with each player, so that everyone could not only experience the fun of tennis, but also feel the dedication, meticulousness and fighting spirit of professional athletes, which effectively promoted the construction of tennis culture.


 

The 2017 Hengqin Life Zhuhai WTA Super Classic will enter the final match on the 5th, and Graf will also visit the Zhuhai Hengqin International Tennis Center to pick the sides and present awards for the women's singles final.
