Page title with sponsors name?

edit

Is there a reason this page title is constructed with the sponsors name (BNP Paribas) instead of the tournament name (Indian Wells)?

I note that the meta article about the tournament itself is titled with the tournament name and not the sponsors name.

I see there are one or two other tournament pages where the sponsors name is used but that predominantly the tournament name is used.

Titling the page this way also means that the name in the browser tab is also the sponsor's which I finds leads to losing track of which page is which.

I don't suppose that Wikipedia is receiving any of the sponsorship money (indeed I hope that this would be against Wikipedia's editorial guidelines).

I don't mind making the change but I wanted to check first if there is some pre-existing reason or convention about this.

Thanks,

James
