HA NOI (VNS) — Hoang Thanh Trung won the first-ever FLC Tennis Cup, held on water, in Thanh Hoa Province on September 27.

The former national champion beat Tran Hoang Anh Khoa 6-3, 6-4 in the final match.

"I have not had good results in recent national tournaments. This win came to me at the right time. It is a great gift and will inspire me to continue playing professional tennis," Trung, who received a VND30 million (US$1,300) bonus, said.

The event attracted a number of strong Vietnamese players, such as the national champion, Pham Minh Tuan, and former No. 1 Do Minh Quan as well as Hiroki Horikiri, a visitor from Japan. — VNS
