To further mark the occasion, waterdrop® is taking over NYC’s Times Square with its brand ambassadors to serve sustainable hydration with a dynamic pop up tennis court, complete with a captivating “hydration station” offering a variety of Microdrink beverages. Consumers will be able to play on court, sip at the hydration station, and celebrate waterdrop®’s deep ties with tennis just ahead of the US Open. In tandem with the brand’s activation in New York’s Times Square, waterdrop® has recently earned the reputable titles of Official Hydration Partner and Gold Partner of the 2023 ATP Tour.
