Zhuhai tourney serves tasty treat

Apart from world-class action on the court, tennis enthusiasts will also be treated to delectable culinary delights at the forthcoming 2017 WTA Elite Trophy Zhuhai (WETZ) tournament.

A new version of the Zhuhai Food Festival will be held from Oct 31 to Nov 5 during the WTA event in Zhuhai, Guangdong province.

Tennis fans can sample the authentic "taste of Zhuhai", served by up 10 of the city's best restaurants and chefs, during the six-day event at Zhuhai Hengqin International Tennis Center.

WETZ hopes the combination of top-class tennis and delicious local cuisine will prove to be an extra-special experience for fans and, in the process, promote Zhuhai culture too.

Ten of the world's top-20 players are expected to compete at the third edition of the tournament, which this year sees prize money increased to $2.28 million.
