WTA Finals Future Star and Singapore Tennis Player
"WTA Future Stars has been one of the most memorable experiences of my tennis journey! The past few tournament editions have taught me many invaluable lessons, helping me grow as a player and person. I’m inspired to keep chasing my tennis dreams and be the best player I can be.”
2018 WTA Finals Ball Kids Junior Trainer
"I was a ball kid back in 2016. During one of the doubles games, a player’s shot hit me in the neck! It hurt and it was slightly embarrassing because it was on TV. Still, it was definitely memorable.”
Volunteer for all WTA Finals Singapore editions
"My daughter and I have been involved with volunteer work for the WTA Finals since day one. This event has ignited her passion for tennis in a way I could never have imagined. She admires the WTA Future Stars Singapore players, and has been practising very hard with the hope of representing Singapore.”
Senior Manager, Event Services – Asia, Lagardère Sports
"The WTA Finals may last a little over a week, but the whole affair is a year in the making. We were back at the drawing board the moment each tournament ended — planning for the year ahead. That’s what I’ll miss most – dedicated volunteers, sponsors and partners working tirelessly to make the event better each year.”
Chef at the Racquet Club
"Being able to spend a year getting ready for this global tournament is always exciting. We have more than 60 chefs working daily across eight days at the Racquet Club hospitality suites, serving 800 people a day and cooking for players. It really is like building a kitchen to serve a small town.”
Managing Partner of Limo Butler and Fleet Manager for WTA Finals
“Managing a group of dedicated drivers is always a challenge as we work with hectic deadlines. But it’s fulfilling once we get superstar players and VIPs to their destinations on time. One significant moment was having all the limos and cars do a formation for the WTA Finals.”
School Teacher and Coordinator of SC Global's Tennis For Every Child Programme
"The most exciting moment was taking my students to the WTA Finals launch at the National Gallery. We got to meet Billie Jean King in person! I’m delighted to see students pick up tennis for the first time and hope they may one day be inspired to represent Singapore.”
Deputy News Editor at The Business Times
"I'll never forget the three-set epic between Maria Sharapova and Caroline Wozniacki in 2014, or Venus Williams' sensational run to the championship final in 2017. I'd say the WTA Finals has raised the profile of tennis in Singapore and we've definitely seen more children pick up a racket. Hopefully, we can unearth the next big star right here.”
