The Monterrey Player Party: Are You Looking for a (Super)Hero?

Posted on March 2, 2015 by René Denfeld in Media Mumblings // 1 Comment

Remember our walk through a history of ~~wacky~~ fun-loving Linz player parties? Monterrey is something like its Mexican cousin – and once again they’ve set the bar high.

Before we jump into this weekend’s festivities, let’s take a quick look back at 2014 and its zombie-themed welcome dinner:

So, yeah, that happened.

Moving on:

Before the Superhero theme player party got underway, the Abierto Monterrey organizers equipped last year’s winner, World No. 6 Ana Ivanovic and runner-up Jovana Jaksic and sent them out into the streets to drum up attention for the event:

They also played some mini-tennis on a hand-painted court in San Pedro de Pinta:

And visitors had the chance to take aim at the tournament’s top seed:

Later the same evening, the party really got started. Among others, Ivanovic, Jaksic, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Kristina Mladenovic dressed to…save Gotham City?
