The tennis academy took part in the inaugural Teems Invitational International Schools team event in Hua Hin last weekend. There were two separate events: one for the U19 as a team event and an individual U13 event. Twenty-seven Bangkok Patana students competed against schools from Dubai, Malaysia and Thailand.

The U19 team event saw Rinka Bunsokuwan win the individual singles bracket, while Pip Kaocharern and Asama Jittachalodhorn won the doubles event, beating Emily Yang and Mandy Kusolphatna in an all BPS final. These results also saw the girls win the Girls’ team prize. Samrit Singh and Phineas Larmer Beech were Boys’ Doubles runners up and the BPS 1 team were the overall team champions.

In the U13 events, our Boys’ team finished in the top four positions out of the 24 entries with Rei Terada as the Champion, Sean Thai runner up, Luka Grande Sharapov 3rd and Leon Woessner 4th. The Girls’ team saw Ella Voravutvityarak finish as runner up and Aly Sirichareonwong in 3rd place. 

As the event is looking to grow by hosting qualifying events in Malaysia, Singapore, China, Japan and the Middle East’ it is certainly one that Bangkok Patana will want to continue to participate in and to give those playing a fantastic competitive opportunity.
