Ninh Binh (VNS/VNA) - The International Tennis Federation (ITF) U18 – J30 2024 will be held from November 11-24 at the Sports Training and Competition Centre of Ninh Binh province.

There are two events organised consecutively, the J30 Ninh Binh 1 is from November 11-17 and the J30 Ninh Binh 2 is from November 18-24.

The events are jointly organised by the ITF, the Vietnam Tennis Federation (VTF) and the provincial Department of Culture and Sports.

The tournaments are two of Vietnam’s international tennis events in 2024, creating opportunities for local players and positioning the country in the world map of junior tennis.

More than 200 young players from 20 countries and regions such as Japan, China, India, the Republic of Korea, Australia and Hungary will join the hosts in Ninh Binh city.

Among them are Shen Jacob Kailiang (Hong Kong), Ji-Hyun Oh (RoK) and Pantaratorn Dharma (Thailand), along with Vietnamese players such as Nguyen Minh Phat, Nguyen Dai Khanh and Tran Quoc Cuong.

They will compete in four categories of boys' and girls' singles and doubles to collect points for their ranking in the world junior youth tables. The champions of the singles event will take 30 points, while the doubles winners will get 20 each.

The qualification games will be held on November 9 and 10, before the main rounds of the two events from November 11-24.

The VTF believes that playing against international competitors will help Vietnamese players to improve their skills, enhance their confidence and push the overall development of national tennis.

The event is also one of activities of the third Ninh Binh Festival which aims to portray glorious historical milestones and 'decode' the cultural values of Vietnam’s ancient capital./.
