Beng Koon or “BK” as we affectionally call him is the most senior player in team Regentville. Despite him being a veteran, he plays very solid and consistent tennis and uses his subtle defensive touches to his advantage. He has the ability to use much of the power generated from his younger opponents to fuel his counter attacking game just like what Martina Hingis does. Many of our younger players have suffered his wrath as he is able to turn his defensive shots into excellent counter attacking touches that leaves many of his younger counterparts completely stranded.

His strength mainly lies in his intelligent counter attacking game and this ability was demonstrated to the fullest when he upset the eventual Bullion Open tennis champion, Apollo in the group stages of the tournament. Apollo was handed his only defeat during the group stages, although he eventually went on to win the tournament, much credit has to be given to BK for upsetting the tournament’s 3rd seeded player and eventual champion.
