| Bio | She was a Dutch tennis player who was active in the mid-twentieth century. Thung ensured that in 1955 there was a truly international field of participants for the first time at the annual tournament of the Dutch tennis club 't Melkhuisje in Hilversum. From 1957 this tournament would grow into the internationally appealing Dutch Open. In the context of the sixtieth anniversary of the club, the aim of the association was to invite some foreign players in 1955 to their annual A tournament. One of their members, Berna Thung, regularly played abroad and arranged six foreign participants in a tournament in Düsseldorf. The men's singles was won by German guest Dr. K. Rohde, the women's singles by Jenneke Mullemeister who was sometimes mistaken for a German because of her surname, but actually came from Hilversum. In 1956 Thung himself won the mixed doubles with Piet van Eijsden and the women's doubles with Zus Peters in 't Melkhuisje. Two years later she won the women's doubles again with Zus Peters. In 1959, the final that she and Zus Peters would have played against an Australian couple rained out. |
