Victory across the entire line
Two highly traditional names got together when
Rodenstock equipped the honorary helpers at Wimbledon with
sunglasses, as the company does each summer. Rodenstock has
already supported the most famous tennis tournament in the world
for 19 years. The special highlight of this year is that tennis
legend Boris Becker visited Rodenstock and its guests on
location.
Point, Set, and
Match
All voluntary helpers of the
tournament – including ball girls and boys, referees and line
umpires – were equipped for the tournament with the right
Rodenstock sunglasses, even with correction lenses if need be.
Rodenstock Sun Contrast lenses were chosen across the board due
to the special demands on the lawn. The contrast-enhancing
effect of the lenses makes it possible to recognise details even
in diffuse sunlight or strong glare, which is indispensible
especially for the referees and line umpires. With an UV filter
of up to 400 nm, the Sun Contrast lenses also provide reliable
sun protection for the
eyes.
Perfect
Match
As in every year, Rodenstock also
assumed the costs this time as well for training the Wimbledon
officials, that way making a valuable contribution to the
tournament organisation. The President of the British Lawn
Tennis Association, Matthew Morrissey, appeared very
enthusiastic about the longstanding partnership: “One can simply
rely on Rodenstock. We are all very well equipped with the
sunglasses. They meet our requirements exactly. The lenses are
not too dark, so that direct eye contact between the players and
referees is possible. In addition, the spectacles are suitable
for all age groups, which is important because we have voluntary
helpers between the ages of 17 and 70. And not least, the
spectacles simply look good!”
A
Legend Returns
As a special highlight, there
was a memorable meeting this year. The former tennis champion
and multiple Wimbledon winner Boris Becker paid Rodenstock and
its guests a visit. The world star returned to the sight of his
success on the 25th anniversary of his first win on the famous
lawn. Becker, himself a convinced wearer of the sunglasses from
Rodenstock, got a personal picture of how the volunteers were
equipped, and followed the tournament together with the guests
of Rodenstock.
