"I'm proud to be an ambassador of LOTOS Group, an innovative company that invests in its development. Also, few companies in Poland put so much effort into supporting talented players from various disciplines. I believe that together with LOTOS, we can accomplish great things to support tennis," says Agnieszka Radwańska.

"Agnieszka's first tournament in her new role was the Miami Open, following which she officially signed the agreement with LOTOS in Warsaw. Her next tournament was in Stuttgart, and it will be followed by Prague and Madrid. Roland Garros takes place in May and the Wimbledon in July."

The co-operation is a continuation of LOTOS' sports sponsorship and CSR activities. LOTOS has been involved in environmental, social and sports projects to support environmental programmes, cultural events, and fund scholarships, equipment and camps for young players.
