As part of the ATP World Tour 250 series of 2019, the Zhuhai Championships took place at the Hengqin International Tennis Center in Zhuhai, China, from September 23 to 29, 2019. Absen was selected as the exclusive and official LED display supplier for the event.
With a floor area of approximately 117,000 square metres, designed by architect Populous, Hengqin International Tennis Center required a total of 172 square metres of Absen LED displays. These comprised two 37 square metre perimeter LED displays on the east and west side of the central playing court, a 50 square metres LED videowall on the stage of Carnival, a 36 square metres LED display at the main entrance of the stadium, and three scoreboards with an area of 4 square metres on three different playing courts.
The displays were mainly used for creating a prominent commercial brand activation platform, providing the live broadcast of the competitions and also providing technical reference for referees on site.
Stephen Zheng, the marketing director from the event contractor, Huafa Sports, said: “Absen’s LED displays had shown wonderful performance. Absen has won a worldwide reputation for providing LED displays for top-playing competitions, that’s why we choose Absen to cooperate with at the very beginning. And the actual result has proven that we had made a sound choice. The LED systems had given very steady performance in spite of different applications during our diversified activities and the Absen team were extremely professional in providing service, showing a deep understanding of our needs and ability to get the job done. We really appreciate the hard work put in by Absen and look forward to future cooperation.”
Allen Lyu, Absen sports engineer onsite, said: “In order to achieve the best results, the Absen team have been working very closely with the organisers, as always. We monitored the system closely on site for each activity and performed multiple tests to ensure the system function smoothly for different events. I’m very proud that the Absen system performed well and sponsors’ content was delivered smoothly.”
