Fitz Club Pattaya Makes History as Thailand's First ITF Masters Star Tournament Recognition Award Winner, Achieving Elite Global Venue Status

Fitz Club Pattaya is proud to announce that it has been awarded the prestigious Star Tournament Recognition Award (MT700 category) by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). 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 9 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 overall quality of the event. 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, Mr. 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.
