The WTA Hua Hin, also known as WTA Thailand Open, is an upcoming women’s professional tennis tournament that will be played on outdoor hard courts in the resort town of Hua Hin. In this article, you will find information on how to buy the 2020 WTA Hua Hin tickets.
The 2020 edition of the tournament will be played from February 10 to 16, 2020. The event has been bumped up from a WTA 125K Series event to an International event with a prize pool of $250,000 and 280 ranking points on the line. It is set to take place right after the Australian Open and needless to mention, it is going to be quite exciting to follow.
In just its second edition, we can expect the tournament organizers to pull in some of the most prominent athletes from the women’s circuit. In its previous editions, the likes of Garbine Muguruza, Caroline Garcia and Zheng Saisai have participated and moved on to do well in Hua Hin.

In the meantime, let us take a look at how the previous editions of the tournament have turned out to be. The last time Hua Hin witnessed a professional tennis tournament was in 2017 when it was a 125K Series event. The top seed was awarded to the Chinese player Wang Qiang while the second seed was bagged by the Russian Evgeniya Rodina. The remaining seeds were awarded to Duan Yingying, Hsieh Su-Wei, Naomi Broady, Yanina Wickmayer, and Misaki Doi.
However, in an interesting turn of events, the tournament was won by a former top 10 player Belinda Bencic, who defeated Su-Wei in the final in straight sets. The Swiss had a comparatively easy path to the final, considering that most of the seeded players in her half were knocked out in early rounds. In the semis, she did come across the sixth seed Ana Bogdan but comfortably defeated the Romanian in straight sets.
