HA NOI (VNS) — Viet Nam will participate in a soft tennis event for the first time in the Asian Games (Asiad) which officially opens tomorrow in Incheon, South Korea.

Coach Nguyen Thi Kieu My said that most of team members are veteran tennis players such as Tran Thanh Hoang, Huynh Chi Khuong and Lam Quang Tri.

In June, the South Korea Soft Tennis Federation sent experts to help Viet Nam develop this sport. They coached Vietnamese players two months before the team went to South Korea to compete in a pre-Asiad tournament.
