Good news for all tennis fans: When Porsche Team Deutschland plays against the Czech Republic in the Porsche Arena in Stuttgart on April 21 and 22 for the Fed Cup finals, they will be there live at Angelique Kerber’s matches without an extra fee. With the support of Porsche and DAZN, the games of the Porsche brand ambassador will be broadcast on her official Facebook page in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. All other games will be LIVE on DAZN on Saturday and Sunday.
“I am delighted that Porsche and DAZN are making this broadcast possible and that my fans can see my matches live on Facebook,” said Angelique Kerber: “This is an additional motivation for me personally to show my best performance and to secure final participation with the Porsche Team Germany.
DTB Vice President Dirk Hordorff also expressed himself positively: “This campaign is a great service for all tennis fans and an interesting way to support German women’s tennis and the Porsche Team Germany,” said the association’s top sports representative.
“For DAZN, the fans and their sports stars come first. That’s why we are very happy to give Angelique Kerber the live rights to her individual games for this Facebook promotion and keep our fingers crossed for the Fed Cup,” says Kay Dammholz, Managing Director Rights & Distribution at DAZN.
Recently, Stan Wawrinka and David Goffin, among others, streamed their matches on their Facebook pages. They are regarded as pioneers of a new development that could become more and more fashionable as an alternative to transmissions.
