Tournament of Champions trophy by defeating 10th seed Amanda Sobhy (USA)
in the women’s final. The 2016 JP Morgan Tournament of Champions
featured 46 of the top50 world-ranking players in the sport among 112

championship. As part of its sponsorship, Brandix presented
custom-designed and branded players’ shirts to the players in the Men’s
and Women’s draw.
