The Pattaya Tennis Association and Fairtex Sports Club brought together five city tennis clubs for a day of casual family fun at its 2015 Tennis Competition.
The Fairtex, KCT, We Love Pattaya, CAT Telecom Communications and Group of Tennis Association clubs served up the friendly matches Dec. 1-3 to mingle, exercise and improve their skills.
About 120 players participated in the competition, the eighth time it has been held. The contestants were divided into pairs with combined ages totaling 80 and 100, and an open doubles bracket.
Fairtex supplied the courts and equipment where necessary.
