What's New: BPS Tennis Blog, Fixtures and Results
Last Saturday saw our first event of 2025 with the JV invitational singles events.
100 students from Bangkok International Schools came to play with the boys event kicking things in the morning.
With all players split into groups of 8 by their UTR ranking each draw was competitive as standards were similar.
Congratulations to Tyno who won the top section defeating teammate Hanson in the final whilst all other players won one of their two matches played which considering they were all the top section was a good effort.
The girls were then in action in the afternoon. BPS provided two section winners with Tatsha winning the top level and Alisa level 4 whilst Anya and Emily lost in the final of level 2 and 3 respectively so again some strong performances.
Overall 110 matches were played which for many of the visiting students was the first time they had competed at Patana since the covered courts had been built.
The Tennis Academy in conjunction with SILC hosted a Pink Tennis Charity event for the Queen Sirikit Center breast cancer foundation.
90 players took to the courts in a fun filled event with some fantastic outfits on show.
With both a competitive and a social section running side by side the courts were full of laughter all morning and was great to see such a vibrant community spirit.
Around 150,000 baht was raised on the day.
The U14 tennis season
The U14 tennis season concluded last Saturday with the end of season BMAC tournament, which although sanctioned under the BMAC conference umbrella is almost a hybrid tournament as three of the six schools taking part are from the BISA conference.
Patana hosted the girls whilst ISB were the boys host school.
The tennis academy hosted an orange and green ball event for our Junior Tigers and Junior Cubs teams last Saturday.
We invited Harrow, Shrewsbury, STA, and NIST to send teams along for a fun but competitive morning.
As anticipated our visiting schools were wowed by the new centre and really enjoyed the experience.
Welcome back to school. We're excited to have you on the new covered tennis court. Please see the tryout details below.
