Maestro Dobel Tequila's partnership with the US Open further cements its position as a supporter of professional tennis in the United States, as Dobel also serves as the "Official Tequila" across key tournaments including the Miami Open, BNP Paribas Open and Western & Southern Open.

"The US Open has a storied and rich history driven by passion for the sport of tennis and a commitment to excellence," said Deanne Pownall, USTA Managing Director, Corporate Partnerships. "These attributes are shared with Maestro Dobel Tequila and we are excited to introduce this legacy brand to our fans on-site, and showcase the partnership to fans around the world."

A cornerstone of the partnership is the placement of "Dobel Tequila" branding in on-court signage that will be visible to fans on-site and around the world. Fans attending the US Open will have the opportunity to experience the portfolio of Maestro Dobel's smooth tequilas that will be available at concession stands, restaurants and private hospitality spaces.

"As an 11th generation tequila maker, I take great pride in the mastery and precision with which we craft our award-winning Maestro Dobel tequilas. Each year, we see that same passion and dedication on display in the competition at the US Open, so we are incredibly proud to announce Maestro Dobel – creator of the world's first Cristalino – as the first 'Official Tequila' of this iconic tournament," said Juan Dobel, Founder of Maestro Dobel Tequila. "As the number one ultra-premium tequila in Mexico and one of the fastest-growing globally, we are excited to share our range of extraordinary tequilas with tennis fans in New York, and continue the acceleration of the tequila category with an international audience."

Maestro Dobel will be featured at a branded, full-service bar inside Arthur Ashe Stadium, and branded, mobile carts across the tournament grounds, which will offer smooth and refreshing tequila cocktails, including the Maestro Dobel Ace Paloma, poured in a co-branded souvenir cup.
