Philippine tennis finds new godfather in Hayb Anzures
Hayb Anzures, president of Gentry Timepiece, is injecting new life and significant financial backing into Philippine tennis through the inaugural Gentry Open Tennis Championships.
Anzures, who started playing tennis a year ago, finds the sport's community more vibrant and welcoming than others he participates in.
Inspired by the global success of tennis player Alex Eala, Anzures felt compelled to contribute to the development of local tennis.
The Gentry Open Tennis Championships boasts a substantial P2-million prize pot, making it the biggest local tournament in terms of cash rewards, surpassing the Philippine Columbian Association (PCA) Open.
The men's singles champion is set to receive P300,000, with cash prizes and sponsor gifts extended down to the 15th place in the main draw.
