There are a large number of colleges and universities in Zhuhai, with more than 120,000 college students currently enrolled, and the development of tennis among college students has been in full swing. In the past two years, the Zhuhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have actively implemented the "National Fitness Program", not only to build and update the hardware facilities of tennis in the community parks in the urban area, but also to spare no effort in the promotion of the campus.
In addition to the four major tennis IPs in Zhuhai formed in the past, such as "Tennis into Campus", "Tennis into the Community", "Caddie Selection" and "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Youth Tennis Invitational Tournament", the College Tennis Invitational Tournament is gradually moving out of Zhuhai and becoming an annual college tennis event in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.
