Thanks to this endeavour by Longines, 16 young promising female tennis players from different parts of the world got a chance to battle it out on Parisian clay in conditions that resembled Roland Garros of which the brand has been official partner and timekeeper since 2007. The experience began with a two day sports camp conducted at the Longines Academy, where the players got a chance to be tutored by two expert coaches. The young turks not only competed against the best international players of their age group, but also received a unique opportunity to meet Arantxa Sanchez, the tournamentandrsquo;s patron and three-time winner of the Roland Garros. The two finalists also participated in an exhibition match with Sanchez and Kim Clijsters. Martinez participated in a coin toss at a match held at the Philippe-Chatrier court, even as she received a Longines watch and an annual sponsorship for her tennis equipment that she will continue to get until her 16th birthday. Sarah Dev from India also participated, reaching the quarter finals in her first match overseas.br /br /strongKate Winslet visits Saint-Imier/strongbr /Kate Winslet, Ambassador of Elegance, Longines, spent the day at the Swiss watchmakerandrsquo;s head office in Saint-Imier in May.
