The women’s professional division
was also won by one of the four visiting Thai pros to the tournament, Kotcha
Nattawadee when she beat a local player at Wonderland tennis courts in the new
urban town in HCMC’s District 7.

The sporting event attracted some
480 players from 100 companies and organizations in the city competing in
professional, semiprofessional and amateur divisions in about 900 matches.

The Phu My Hung Tennis Tournament
was started as an amateur tournament about 10 years ago, in collaboration with
HCMC Tennis Union, HCMC Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the sport
center of District 7.
