Teenager Thien aces English rivals

LookAtVietnam – Viet Nam teenager Nguyen Hoang Thien cruised into the quarter-finals of the Rushbrooke International Tennis Federation U-18 tournament in Ireland on Tuesday.
Playing on grass, the HCM City-born athlete lost the first set against Reynolds but rallied to take the final sets comfortably. When down 0-40 in one game he hit five straight aces. “It’s the first time I’ve played on grass so I found it hard to control the ball with different bounce and speed. Thien said he was below his best in a tournament in nearby Donnybrook the previous week but learned a lot from the experience. Thien tops the Asian Tennis Federation’s U-14 rankings and hopes to improve his world junior ranking of 562. In a bid to improve his world ranking, the rising star has trained with a leading American coach, Roy Coopersmith, who guided Serbian star Jelena Jankovic in 2006. VietNamNet/Viet Nam News |
