+ HOWEVER, WITH TENNIS GROWING IN POPULARITY IN HONG KONG, THE COUNCIL BELIEVES IT SHOULD FURTHER HELP FOSTER THIS PRESTIGEOUS COMPETITION, AND SO HAS DECIDED TO WAIVE HALF OF THE VENUE CHARGES FOR THE 1984 CLASSIC.
+OVER THE YEARS, MANY OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TENNIS PLAYERS HAVE TAKEN PART IN THE CLASSIC, ENABLING YOUNG HONG KONG PLAYERS AND LOCAL ENTHUSIASTS IN GENERAL TO SEE THE STYLES OF SOME OF THE RECOGNISED CHAMPIONS.
+ ARGUABLY THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE IMPROVING STANDARD OF TENNIS IN HONG KONG AMONG OUR YOUNGER PLAYERS.+
THE SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT THE COUNCIL BELIEVED THAT THE HONG KONG TENNIS PATRONS' ASSOCIATION DESERVED ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ITS ATTEMPTS TO IMPROVE THE GAME IN HONG KONG, AND AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION HAD DECIDED TO GRANT THE SUBSIDY.
THE CLASSIC IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE TOWARDS THE END OF OCTOBER AT VICTORIA PARK TENNIS COURTS.
