This historic achievement marks the first time both a venue in Thailand and a Thai individual have received this honour, placing Fitz Club among an elite group of just nine venues worldwide to earn this distinction. 

The award recognises venues that deliver exceptional, professionally run tournaments and provide an experience that exceeds expectations. It is based on player satisfaction, seamless tournament operations, and the event’s overall quality. Evaluations draw on player feedback surveys, tournament supervisor reports, and scores, as well as ITF Masters committee assessments — reflecting consistently high standards across all areas.

This success is driven by the vision and passion of Royal Cliff’s CEO, Vitanart Vathanakul, whose commitment to tennis extends well beyond leadership. As an active ITF Masters Tour player and MT400 champion, he achieved a career-high world ranking of No 96 in the 35+ category — bringing invaluable player insight into creating a truly athlete-focused tournament experience.

For the past eight years, Fitz Club Pattaya has proudly hosted ITF Masters tournaments, continually improving its facilities and fine-tuning every aspect of the experience. From world-class courts and highly attentive event organisation to exceptional hospitality, accommodation, and attention to detail, the venue has earned outstanding praise from players—many of whom return year after year.

This recognition reflects the team’s unwavering commitment, determination and continuous improvement. It stands as a proud milestone for Fitz Club, reinforcing its position as a leading international tournament venue and its dedication to delivering world-class experiences. The team now looks forward to welcoming tennis players and sports enthusiasts from around the world to experience this excellence first-hand.

Fitz Club – Racquets, Health & Fitness, the elite sports centre under the Royal Cliff banner, continues to reinforce its status as a premier sports destination for professional and recreational athletes. The centre has welcomed world-class talent over the years, including former ATP stars such as Nikolay Davydenko, Mikhail Youzhny, Dmitry Tursunov, Paradorn Srichaphan, Danai Udomchoke, and Denis Istomin, all of whom have trained on its courts engineered to mirror the playing conditions of the Grand Slam Open. With a long-standing legacy in competitive sports, Fitz Club has proudly hosted numerous high-profile events, including prestigious Junior and Senior Tennis tournaments, Squash championships, and Table Tennis competitions. This rich history underscores its reputation as one of Thailand’s most established sporting venues. Continuing its commitment to excellence, Fitz Club has further expanded its offerings with upgraded facilities for pickleball, futsal and basketball, making it a comprehensive hub for multi-sport athletes and families alike.

The tournament was made even more vibrant through the generous support of Supersports, K-Swiss, Carabao, and Vitala, whose contributions elevated the experience for everyone. Players were especially delighted with the outstanding gifts and amenities provided by the sponsors.

One of the most memorable highlights was the Men’s Singles 40+ clash between Vitanart Vathanakul, CEO of the Royal Cliff Hotels Group, and Kotaro Noguchi of Japan. The two competitors fought an extraordinary six-hour battle, showcasing sheer grit and high-level skill. Despite both players suffering from cramps, they pushed forward point after point in an intense duel that enthralled the entire crowd. The match remained razor-close throughout before Vitanart emerged victorious in a dramatic finish.

Equally captivating was the Women’s Singles 45+ showdown featuring Thailand’s Miss Sivika Sirisanthana against Brazil’s Thania Melhem in her first appearance. The two athletes exchanged long rallies and hard-fought points, keeping supporters fully engaged until the very last moment. Their match stood out as one of the most spirited encounters of the tournament.

Beyond the thrilling competition, players and families also enjoyed a lineup of exclusive activities and privileges, including a complimentary pool party hosted by Royal Cliff’s CEO.
