Thien, who is ranked 369th in the world's junior tennis standings, will compete with the national team for the first time at the 16th Asian Games which will be held in Guangzhou, China in November.
The young athlete will compete at the ITF's group 3 tournament against Malaysian tennis players.

Quyen signs with Song Lam Nghe An
Former national star Pham Van Quyen has signed a new contract with Song Lam Nghe An, despite having his name tarnished during a match fixing scandal.
Quyen's new contract is for three years but allows him to play for the club until his retirement. In effect, the player has a life-contract with his team, who warmly welcomed his return after a four-year ban for match fixing. His current contract will end by the end of this year.
Quyen was called up for the national team in preparation for the AFF Suzuki Cup 2010 but suffered an injury that resulted in a poor performance during the last season. — VNS
