The 2025 Vodafone Suva Open Tennis Championship is gearing up to host over a hundred tennis players from Fiji and the Pacific region. Officially launched with excitement, the event will take place from August 29 to 31 and marks the third consecutive year of sponsorship by Vodafone Fiji, a partnership that plays a vital role in promoting the sport among local talent.
Daniel Naidu, Vice President of Suva Tennis, conveyed his appreciation for Vodafone’s sustained support, highlighting that the tournament has seen substantial growth since its inception in 2022.

Events like the Vodafone Suva Open are crucial for nurturing talent and building a strong community around the sport.
As the tournament approaches, anticipation is building among players and fans alike, showcasing the growing enthusiasm for tennis in the region and the pivotal role it plays in enriching community spirit through sports.
