Millions expected to watch Rookwood Cup Presentation
CINCINNATI, OH -- The Western & Southern Open and the Rookwood Pottery Co. have agreed to produce the Center Court Rookwood Cup, the first ATP World Tour and WTA trophy to carry the historic Rookwood name. Under terms of the agreement, Rookwood will create two perpetual trophies for tournament use and 12 smaller trophies to be distributed to the players - six champion and six runners-up, including doubles. It is the third consecutive year that Rookwood created the player trophies, the first it has naming rights, and all will be handcrafted at Rookwood's studios in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati.
"Both Rookwood and the Western & Southern Open have rich Cincinnati histories reaching back more than a century," said Martin Wade, owner of Rookwood Pottery.
