This is the last tour for couple Tien Minh - Vu Thi Trang on the threshold of the upcoming Olympics 2016 in Brazil.
Nguyen Tien Minh was seeded 5th for the race, and has automatically qualified in the first round of the men’s single category. In the second round, his rival is the winner of the game between H. Dani (India) -T. Chiu (Canada). The top seed position belongs to Indian player A.Jayaram.
While, Tien Minh’s teammate did not seed at the women’s single category. The Bac Giang province-origin girl is to compete with the 70th world ranking Laura Sarosi from Hungary.
