AsemconnectVietnam - The four-day ITF - BT50 Fleur De Lys Cup 2024 kicked off in the south-central province of Binh Dinh on August 18, while the ITF - BT50 Vietravel Cup 2024 will be held in the same location from August 22-25.
It is the first time Vietnam has hosted the two international beach tennis tournaments, which offer total cash prizes of 4,000 USD each.
With the venue being the Xuan Dieu Beach in Binh Dinh’s Quy Nhon city, the competitions will feature 30 athletes from Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Slovakia and Latvia, and Vietnam, among others. They are set to take part in the men's and women's double categories.
According to the Vietnam Tennis Federation, these first international events mark the turning point for local and national beach tennis, expected to be an exciting watch for supporters and visitors.
Beach tennis is a game combining tennis and volleyball and is played on sand. It has been played in over 50 countries and by more than half a million people since its first days in 1970. The sport is particularly popular in Italy, Brazil and Spain where they have the greatest numbers of beach tennis players in the world./.
