This is Tien Minh’s third title so far this year, following his men’s singles crowns at the Yonex - Sunrise Vietnam Grand Prix Open 2012 two months ago and the 2012 National Individual Badminton Championships last month.

As champion, Minh received a cash prize of US$15,000 and nearly 2000 extra points, which should help improve his position in future world rankings.
