We hope to see you again, Vietnamese and international players in the upcoming season in Phan Thiet City - Binh Thuan.”

To reach the final, player Tran Duc Minh continuously surprised everyone starting from defeating Tran Quyet Chien in the round of 16, then defeating Benkay Karakurt (ranked 25) in the quarter-finals and Kiraz Tolgahan (ranked 17) in the semi-finals to secure a spot in the final against Kim Jun Tae.

The Vietnamese national anthem echoed in Nguyen Du Sports Hall as Tran Duc Minh claimed the championship cup on the night of May 26.

Player Tran Duc Minh was presented with flowers by his son.
