  • The Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open (PHKTO) 2016 Reached Its
    The Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open (PHKTO) 2016 reached its thrilling finale last month, rounding off a tournament whose impact will resonate throughout Asia’s World City for a long time to come. On centre court, the all-action singles final witnessed former world number one Caroline Wozniacki battle Kristina Mladenovic for three spellbinding sets to take the crown; in the fast-paced doubles final, sisters Chan Yung-Jan and Chan Hao-Ching beat British stars Naomi Broady and Heather Watson to secure their third title of the season. Congratulations to the winners, and we hope they will return to defend their titles in 2017. The climax to a gripping week of world-class tennis action saw a packed-out stadium and outstanding performances on court, while in the schools, streets and neighbourhoods of Hong Kong, PHKTO has instilled a fresh sense of sporting culture and active lifestyles, together with a love of tennis. According to the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), PHKTO 2016 was recorded as one of the highest attended International Series events in the world, a tremendous achievement for the tournament’s third year. This year’s event featured the strongest player field in the history of the tournament, including Angelique Kerber (world number one, Australian Open 2016 singles Champion and US Open 2016 Singles Champion); and three former world number ones: Caroline Wozniacki, Venus Williams (also seven-time Grand Slam singles champion) and PHKTO 2015 singles champion Jelena Janković. Off the court, and in line with our vision to be “the People’s Tournament”, new community engagement activities included a Hong Kong-themed Opening Ceremony and the spectacular CAN Challenge fundraiser, while we broke with typical sports event tradition by offering free tickets not only on “People’s Monday” but also on “Students’ Tuesday”.
