As the grand slam tennis tournament circuit started again yesterday Hublot wishes the best of luck and many victories ahead to Simona Halep, Elina
Svitolina, Karolina Pliskova and Borna Coric— four great players and friends of
the brand!
“Simona, Elina, Karolina and Borna all had a fantastic 2018 season! We are
proud to support them in the huge effort that lies behind their success and
we are by their side for this new year. Hublot Loves tennis!”
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot.
As is the case every year, the tennis season picks up again in the Antipodes, beneath the
Australian summer sun.
Yesterday the four great champions, members of the Hublot
family— Simona Halep, Elina Svitolina, Karolina Pliskova and Borna Coric returned to
service.
The southern hemisphere proved successful for the Romanian Simona Halep — who has been
part of the Hublot family since 2016 — when she reached the final of the Australian Open, the
first Grand Slam of the year. She threw herself wholeheartedly into 2018, winning on clay in
Paris before finishing the season in the same way she began: at number one in the WTA World
Rankings.
As for the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, she made the most of this season to bring her collection of tournament victories up to
14 titles. This consistency let her reach fourth place in the WTA ranking of the best women’s
players.
Australia has been good to Czech Karolina Pliskova since her early career, as she was
victorious in the Junior category there in 2010. She has since succeeded in becoming the first
Czech player in history to reach number one in the WTA ranking, in 2017—the same year as
she joined Hublot as Friend of the Brand —and currently holds eighth place.
The man in this winning quartet, Croatian Borna Coric, who has been Hublot Ambassador since 2015,
has had a sensational 2018 season with the luxury of defeating Roger Federer twice. First in
the finals of Halle, Germany where Borna won his first ATP 500 title, and second in the
semifinals of ATP 1000 tournament in Shanghai, China.
