SINGAPORE — There’s more to it here than just the inaugural Singapore Open featuring some of the world’s best tennis players.

Putting premium on the development of the sport in Southeast Asia, Singapore together with official apparel and footwear partner ASICS gathered representatives from neighboring countries for a Regional Tennis Summit over the weekend at the Kallang Tennis Hub.

Athletes, coaches, officials, media representatives, influencers, content creators and sports enthusiasts from Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines participated in a summit featuring tennis seminar, workshop and clinic that served as a prelude to the Singapore Open women’s singles and doubles finals yesterday at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

The Singapore Open was the first-ever WTA 250 event here, where Filipina star Alex Eala vied but got the early boot in the qualifiers.

World No. 14 Anna Kalinskaya, 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu, Grand Slam doubles champions Elise Mertens and Wang Xinyu, and recently crowned Australian Open 2025 doubles champion Taylor Townsend were among the star players in the historic tourney backed by ASICS, with Novak Djokovic as among its world ambassadors.

ASICS SEA regional sports marketing head Sin Ting Low and Malaysia national tennis team coach Mulyadi Jamal along with national tennisters from Malaysia and Singapore conducted the clinic in which the newest ASICS Gel-Resolution X tennis sneaker was unveiled.

The latest tennis shoe, which boasts a higher medial cut for ankle support, dynawall and dynalace for stability and flytefoam technology midsole for cloud-like cushioning, was first launched in the Australian Open before its Southeast Asian release.

“We at ASICS Tennis pride ourselves in the development of our shoes for top-caliber performance of our tennis players around the world,” said Low.

Former Ms. Universe-Philippines Gazini Gazados, celebrity-tennis athlete Maika Rivera and fashion designer-athlete Bang Pineda represented the Philippines and each had a blast in the latest Asics release, considered a game-changer in comfort and stability for tennis players.
