The Championships, Wimbledon, experience came alive again this year in Johannesburg as Amex Tennis Town returned to Montecasino this weekend.
Hosted by Tennis South Africa (TSA) and American Express through its licensee Nedbank, the event welcomed thousands of fans for a jam-packed weekend filled with tennis, entertainment, and community celebration.
The immersive fan experience delivered live match viewings on a giant screen, interactive tennis zones, live DJ sets, a gourmet food market, and themed photo moments. The Amex Café premium hospitality area was a crowd favourite, offering a curated menu, lounge seating, and the perfect vantage point to take in the action.
American Express Card Members attending the event not only benefited from discounted tickets, but also enjoyed a reserved seating area and access to the fast-track entrance lane.
Anthony Moruthane, General Manager of Tennis South Africa, shared, “The incredible turnout and energy at this year’s Amex Tennis Town has exceeded all expectations. It’s clear that the event has become a standout moment on South Africa’s sporting calendar – a celebration of tennis, community and culture.”
His sentiments were echoed throughout the weekend, with fans embracing the vibrant atmosphere and the opportunity to experience tennis in such an interactive and uniquely South African way.
