Rojnasit Meenichsin, Sports Director of Thai Beverage Public Company Limited, announced the 100 Plus Thai Tennis League 2026 at Royal Ratchapruek Club on August 18, 2024. The tournament is co-organized by Tammareen Thanasukayanun, a former Thai national tennis player ranked 19th in the world, and enjoys support from ASICS Thailand, Head, and Suntory MRP, as well as the Thai Lawn Tennis Association under Royal Patronage and the Thai Senior Tennis Association.

Thanasukayanun reported record participation this year with 19 teams and 550 athletes, up from 16 teams in the previous year. The competition is divided into three divisions: Cup A (4 teams), Cup B (7 teams), and Cup C (8 teams). Cup A champions receive 100,000 baht, the highest prize in any Thai tennis tournament. Beyond prize money, the event awards 15 special honors across all divisions, including Best Manager Award, Best Coach Awards, and Most Valuable Player Awards recognizing top male and female athletes in each category.

Thanasukayanun emphasized the tournament's unique appeal as a mixed-level competition bringing together tennis players of all abilities in a single, friendship-focused event. She expressed gratitude to sponsors, particularly 100 Plus, which has supported her career from her playing days through her current role as tournament director, helping grow Thailand's tennis community.
