In a move that is sure to excite tennis fans and traders alike, the FX and CFD broker Pepperstone has announced a partnership with tennis icon John McEnroe. The former world No. 1 and seven-time Grand Slam singles champion has joined the company as a Global Tennis Ambassador.

Tennis Legend John McEnroe Joins Pepperstone as Global Ambassador

McEnroe, known for his exceptional skills on the court and his charismatic personality, will team up with the Australian star Alex de Minaur, who is already an ambassador for Pepperstone.

"I couldn't ask for a better doubles partner than Pepperstone," McEnroe said. "They've got a history of supporting tennis, and they're clearly as passionate about the future of the sport as I am."

The American tennis legend's addition to the Pepperstone roster is a testament to the broker's commitment to supporting the sport globally. The broker has been a Platinum Partner of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) and holds the naming rights for the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.

"John is a tennis icon whose influence extends beyond his remarkable achievements on the court, and we very much look forward to working together with him as our Global Tennis Ambassador,” added Pepperstone's CEO, Tamas Szabo.

Although football and motorsports are the main areas of interest for most brokers looking for promotion in sports, brokers also make excellent use of local niches in the popularity of other disciplines, including tennis, for example.

Pepperstone's Diverse Sporting Ventures

The company has proven its versatility by extending its sponsorship reach beyond tennis to various other sports. In January 2024, Pepperstone announced a partnership with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), becoming the Official Regional Partner for the anticipated AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023.

Last year, Pepperstone expanded its presence in the sports field by partnering with the Geelong Cats, a popular Australian football team playing in the country's top league. Through this sponsorship deal, brokered by the Melbourne-based agency Bastion, Pepperstone became the Geelong Cats' Official Online Trading Partner.

In 2022, the company entered into a sports partnership with the Adelaide Strikers, one of the country's top cricket teams. Pepperstone became a Principal Partner for the Big Bash League (BBL|12), further solidifying its commitment to supporting Australian sports and athletes.
