More than 100 young players from 11 countries and territories are participating, including Indonesia, Japan, India, Republic of Korea, Russia, Hong Kong (China), Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, alongside invited players from the United States and Finland.
Hosts Vietnam are represented by several promising young players, including Luu Minh Khang of the Army team, To Binh Nhan and To Binh Nhien of Ninh Binh, Nguyen Linh Nhi of Ho Chi Minh City and Dinh Tien Dung of Hanoi.
Organisers said the back-to-back international youth tournaments provide Vietnamese players with valuable opportunities to compete internationally on home soil while also helping improve professional standards and promote the sustainable development of youth tennis in Vietnam.
Holding consecutive tournaments also allows players to maintain competitive rhythm, gain ranking points and accumulate more match experience.
Organisers expressed hope that the experience gained from the tournaments would help young Vietnamese players continue developing and contribute to the long-term growth of Vietnamese tennis on the international stage.
