It’s time to pack your bags and head for Paris to watch one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, the BNP Paribas Masters, from 2nd to 8th November
From 2nd to 8th November 2015, Paris will be abuzz as tennis aficionados come to town to enjoy one of the most prestigious tournaments on the tennis calendar, the BNP Paribas Masters. The tournament, which is held just before the World Tour Finals in London, pits the eight best players in the world against each other in a final showdown.
This year, the BNP Paribas Masters has a brand new concept, called “Le Tennis Augmente”, which puts spectators in the driving seat. This augmented reality concept enables guests to enjoy the game at a whole new level, and to really “live the game”, an extraordinary experience that is a world-first. The venue has recently been refurbished to accommodate all the new technology required to make this an unforgettable event. Now called The Arena, it is the largest venue in Paris and one of the five largest indoor venues in the world.
In future, spectators will come to the Arena to enjoy concerts, as well as international sports events such as this one. But for now, tennis takes the spotlight as this romantic European city gets ready for a week of world-class tennis experienced with augmented reality!
