Lucy Chen-jin

Lucy Chen-jin, the tournament's founder, serves as the President of both the International Chinese Tennis Federation (ICTF) and the World Chinese Tennis Association (WCWTA). A former member of the Hubei Tennis Team, she never strayed far from the sport after leaving the team. Having lived in Europe and Australia for over 30 years, she officially registered and founded the ICTF in Sydney in 2014, subsequently launching the World Chinese Tennis Invitational.
Drawing upon her experience with overseas club tournaments and amateur events in China, she implemented bold reforms and innovations. She champions a tennis culture centered on "Health, Happiness, Travel, Friendship, Competition, and Experiencing Grand Slams." All tournaments operate on a cost-sharing basis (AA system), an innovation that perfectly aligns with the needs of overseas Chinese tennis communities. To date, the ICTF has successfully organized 15 major international tennis tournaments across various countries and Chinese cities, bringing together over 3,000 Chinese players from home and abroad and garnering widespread recognition. Lucy’s natural warmth, generosity, and unique charm—blending Eastern and Western aesthetics—have won her countless friends from China and around the world, earning unanimous praise!
