INTERNATIONAL TENNIS EVENTS IN PATTAYA…WITH A DIFFERENCE
Greta Sports Club and Resort, Pattaya, was the amazing venue for an Open International Beach Tennis and Softball Tennis competition weekend which saw national team members from Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, India, The Phillipines, Japan and Norway (yes…Norway) playing these unusual sports.
Renaud, the French managing director of the Greta complex, is a keen player of Beach Tennis himself and said he was delighted that the sport is gaining so much momentum that it will very possibly soon get Olympic status.
Softball Tennis, played with a squashy rubber ball and slightly smaller tennis racquets, is also growing as a popular sport and many international team players from many countries in S.E. Asia flew in especially for this tournament.
The Greta Sports Club is a few kilometres outside Pattaya, not far from Ocean Marina, with fresh air and superb facilities.
