Mercedes-Benz: Driving Excellence On and Off the Court

June 2026

Excellence is defined not only by performance, but by the journey that leads to it. At the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Athens Open 250, every detail is designed to reflect the highest international standards, and that commitment is perfectly embodied by Mercedes-Benz, the tournament's Official Car and a longstanding Global Partner of the WTA.

For 140 years since the invention of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz has stood at the forefront of progress, shaping the future of mobility through continuous innovation, precision engineering and uncompromising quality. Its legacy extends far beyond the automotive world, standing as a symbol of performance, elegance and forward-thinking technology—values that resonate naturally with elite sport and the world's best athletes. This year also marks a special milestone for the brand's iconic star, which celebrates 100 years as a symbol of excellence, aspiration and timeless design.

As the Official Car of the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Athens Open 250, Mercedes-Benz will provide premium transportation throughout the tournament, ensuring that players, officials, distinguished guests and tournament representatives travel with the comfort, safety and sophistication expected at a world-class international event.

The partnership carries an even deeper significance through Mercedes-Benz's longstanding relationship with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). As a Global Partner of the WTA, the brand has supported women's tennis on the international stage for years, contributing to the continued growth and global visibility of the sport while celebrating excellence, ambition and the pursuit of achievement.

This global connection makes Mercedes-Benz a natural partner for the Vanda Pharmaceuticals Athens Open 250, a tournament that brings world-class women's tennis back to Greece and welcomes some of the sport's finest athletes to Athens. Together, they share a vision built on excellence, innovation and delivering exceptional experiences both on and off the court.

Throughout tournament week, Mercedes-Benz vehicles will become an integral part of the event's operations, seamlessly connecting venues, hotels and official functions while offering the reliability and premium experience for which the brand is internationally renowned. Every journey reflects the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that defines both Mercedes-Benz and elite tennis.

The collaboration is more than a mobility partnership. It represents a shared belief that excellence is achieved through continuous innovation, meticulous preparation and an unwavering commitment to delivering the very best.

As Athens takes its place on the international tennis calendar, Mercedes-Benz helps drive the tournament forward, ensuring that every arrival, every journey and every moment reflects the prestige of a truly world-class sporting event.
