The FELET Vietnam International Series 2024 has reached its climax with the finals set to take place on the 5th day of competition on November 23rd, starting at 1:00 PM. The tournament has showcased thrilling badminton matches, with the host country making a mark, particularly through the impressive performances of Phạm Văn Hải and Thân Vân Anh in the mixed doubles category.
The home team had two representatives vying in different categories, but it was the duo of Phạm Văn Hải and Thân Vân Anh who successfully advanced to the finals as the sole representatives of the host country. Facing the strong Chinese pair of Hu Ke Yuan and Lou Yi, the pressure was immense on the Bắc Giang players to uphold the host nation's presence in the finals.
Despite the formidable challenge posed by the Chinese opponents, Phạm Văn Hải and Thân Vân Anh displayed remarkable resilience and skill on the court. In a fiercely contested match, they managed to secure victory with a scoreline of 21-18, 19-21, 21-15, clinching the prestigious title and bringing honor to Vietnam.
While the mixed doubles pair achieved glory, it was a different story for Trần Thị Phương Thúy in the women's singles category. Despite her valiant efforts, she faced tough competition from Kim Min Ji of South Korea, the newly crowned champion of the Li-Ning Vietnam International Series 2024. Trần Thị Phương Thúy's narrow defeat with a score of 22-20, 9-21, 21-23 left a sense of regret as she fought hard and had opportunities to win but couldn't capitalize on crucial moments.
The FELET Vietnam International Series 2024 has been a showcase of top-level badminton talent, with Phạm Văn Hải and Thân Vân Anh standing out as shining stars in the finals. While victory evaded Trần Thị Phương Thúy, her spirited performance added to the drama of the competition. The tournament not only highlighted the skill and determination of the players but also the fierce competition and sportsmanship on display.
