Kia Corporation is proud to celebrate its 20
th anniversary as the major partner of the
Australian Open in 2021. The occasion was marked with the official Australian reveal of Kia’s new logo at the Australian Open vehicle handover ceremony held today at Grand Slam Oval – which features Kia Australia’s first electric vehicle, the Niro.
Current world tennis superstars
Dylan Alcott and
Nick Kyrgios had the honour of uncovering the new Kia logo as part of the ceremony proceedings, which saw Kia hand over the keys to the Australian Open for its 130-strong fleet of cars dedicated to ensuring players, officials, media and VIP guests are transported securely and in style.
Just like everything else over the past year, the Australian Open 2021 is looking a little different from usual. Yes, there will be many a tennis match, which is arguably the biggest drawcard, but there are some definite changes you’ll want to know about before you book your seat.
For starters, the capacity for each arena has been dropped, which basically means everyone will have some extra space while watching the action go down in the arenas. Second, the precinct has been divided into three ‘zones’ and that’s the thing you need to keep in mind when booking.
Basically, you’ll buy a ticket for one of The Zones and this will determine where you sit, eat, drink, and soak up the ~vibes~. Each one of The Zones has a different flavour, so it’s important to know whether you’ll be ordering fried chicken burgers or sushi, watching the players warm-up (or not), and what live music you’ll be chilling out to.
