VietNamNet Bridge – Number one Vietnamese tennis star Do Minh Quan won yesterday the Tanimex International Tennis Tournament 2009 title for the second time in a row.
He’s a winner: Top player Do Minh Quan holds the trophy of the Tanimex International Tennis Tournament in HCM City. He beat Le Quoc Khanh 6-1, 6-0 in the men’s singles final yesterday.
Quan left the court victorious with a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Le Quoc Khanh, who conceded the second set because of thigh injury. 
As top seed and defending champion, with an easier-than-expected victory over seventh seed Andrean Raturandang of Indonesia in the semi-final, Quan broke in the third game but won the next four games to win the first set.
Khanh, who called for medical care in the sixth game of the first set, decided to drop out and concede the men’s singles title.
"I am very happy to take the title for the second time in succession," Quan said after the match.
"Before the tournament I didn’t think it would be easy for me to win the title, but the unexpected early elimination of foreign players made it easier for me to grab it," added Quan.
"Even though I won the tournament, I still must work to improve my serving ability and my physical strength."
"Finishing the tournament in second place is an unexpected success, considering I only returned to practice a month ago," said Khanh, who always plays very aggressive.
In the men’s doubles, Hendri Susilo Pramono and Andrean Raturandang of Indonesia overcame hosts Quan and Khanh to win the men’s event for the first time and received US$1,500 in prize money.
"We played well in the final; we equalized the score twice in the first set and in the decider to seal the win. We are very happy to win the men’s doubles title and hope that we will be here for the next tournament," said Pramono.
Quan received US$2,950, including $2,500 for the men’s singles title and $450 for the men’s doubles second place win.
Khanh pocketed $2,150, including $1,700 for second in the men’s singles and $450 for the men’s doubles runner-up.
Third place in the men’s singles event was shared between Ngo Quang Huy and Andrean Raturandang.
Malaysian duo Adam Jaya and Yew Ming Si and Pongsiri Niroj and Kong Lertchai from Thailand came in third in the men’s doubles event.
