   Tinkoff signs sponsorship contract with Russia's top ranked tennis player
   Daniil Medvedev

    

   Moscow, Russia - 24 September 2019. Daniil Medvedev, ranked as the top
   tennis player in Russia and #4 tennis player globally, and Tinkoff, the
   leading online financial ecosystem, announce the start of their
   partnership. Daniil Medvedev will participate in Tinkoff's advertising and
   marketing campaigns and promotional events as its official brand
   ambassador. Tinkoff will be the first Russian company to partner with the
   athlete.

    

   Medvedev will promote the entire range of the company's financial and
   lifestyle services, mobile communications and other products from the
   Tinkoff ecosystem across Russia. Tinkoff intends to feature the athlete in
   its marketing on television, online, in media and in outdoor advertising.

    

   "Daniil Medvedev has had phenomenal success on the court, having become
   the first Russian player to reach a Grand Slam final in the last 14 years.
   We are inspired by his dedication and exceptional drive to win. Our
   company and Daniil have much in common: we strive to be the best at what
   we do, and we break stereotypes. We constantly follow new emerging heroes
   and we are glad to support such a young and talented athlete as Daniil.
   He's an extraordinary and courageous athlete who will soon have no equals
   in world tennis. We truly believe that and we wish every success to
   Daniil," commented Artem Yamanov, Senior Vice President of Business
   Development at Tinkoff.

    

   Daniil Medvedev said: "I'm absolutely delighted that my Russian brand
   partner is Tinkoff, one of the country's most innovative, progressive and
   open companies. They have totally changed people's impressions of what the
   bank of the future will look like. I am confident that our combined
   efforts will be successful."

    

   Tinkoff is no stranger to professional sports. In 2012-2016, it sponsored
   the eponymous professional cycling team - Tinkoff. The team's
   Peter Sagan is a three-time world champion and winner of seven green
   jerseys (mark of the best sprinter) in Tour de France.

   Relations before dropping out to pursue a career in tennis. He currently
   lives in France and is No. 4 in the ATP Rankings. With five ATP singles

   out of 71, including the St Petersburg Open final in September (first
   Russian to capture the title in the last 15 years).
