Tien Minh won the international badminton tournament in Hanoi

On the afternoon of March 30, the home player won 21-17, 21-13 against opponent Chun Seang Tan to win the first championship in 2014.

Tien Minh played quite well in the final match.

Ciputra Badminton Tournament is part of BWF Challenge system, so Tien Minh was awarded 4,000 points for winning the championship. This number of points can help the HCM City player increase his total score in the next week's ranking to more than 57,000 points and it can help him return to the world's top 8. Tien Minh also received 1,125 USD for this victory.

This is a match where Tien Minh enjoys both favorable conditions. In the previous semi-final match, Tien Minh only spent about half an hour playing against the opponent ranked 221st in the world, so he did not have enough exercise and had to practice more after the match. Among the players participating in the tournament, he is also the one who practices most seriously, so he has quite good form. In addition, the audience filling the stadium and cheering enthusiastically is also a powerful weapon that helps Tien Minh play with the highest spirit.

His opponent Chun Seang Tan was determined to overthrow Tien Minh in the final match but was not capable enough. In the first set, the Malaysian player was mentally unstable and continuously made mistakes, allowing Tien Minh to lead 8-1. After that, Chun Seang Tan shortened the gap to 5-11 and then 16-17 but then let Tien Minh break away to win 21-17.

In the second set, Chun Seang Tan tried to keep up from the early points but then lost steam due to the excitement of the Vietnamese player. Tien Minh continuously had accurate smashes and skillful shots that made Chun Seang Tan difficult. Thanks to that, the Vietnamese player quickly won 21-13 in the deciding set.

The 2-0 victory helped Tien Minh win his first championship title this year. The last time a Vietnamese player won a BWF tournament was at the US Open in July 2013.
