On the afternoon of May 7 in Ho Chi Minh City, the Vietnam Tennis Federation (VTF) officially launched the new sport ToTEN.

The event marks a new step for VTF in its strategy of diversifying sports activities, aiming to build a modern, accessible, dynamic and suitable sport for young people, families as well as the community that loves exercise.

The program was attended by Mr. Nguyen Quoc Ky - Chairman of the Vietnam Tennis Federation and special guests who are beauty queens and runners-up.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Ky shared: "ToTEN is not only a new sport but also a modern movement trend, where people can connect, exercise and enjoy a positive sportsmanship. VTF expects ToTEN to quickly spread strongly in the community, especially young people.

Within the framework of the program, VTF's professional representative introduced an overview of ToTEN, including basic rules, outstanding features, high entertainment value as well as easy access for all ages.

ToTEN is a short tennis (tennis) format, competing on small courts, using mini tennis rackets and soft balls, maintaining the scoring system like tennis (0-15-30-40), low serves to the back and is only served once. If the ball touches the net and falls into the correct serve box, it is allowed to continue to compete to help players easily approach, compete faster, safer and still maintain tennis technique.

This sport only allows one serve, helping the match to be fast, clear, and reducing dead time. A shoulder-length serve helps players easily perform, reducing the excessive advantage of people with strong serves, and at the same time reducing the risk of shoulder injuries. Players will use mini tennis rackets, only allowed to use rackets to bring the ball over the net and not use hands, feet, body or any body parts. Especially ToTEN balls are high-class Foam balls, soft and light rubber balls.

The event atmosphere became exciting with the "ToTEN Challenge" activity - a direct interactive challenge between guests, beauty queens - runners-up, athletes and audiences. The beauties interacted, experienced competition and created a youthful, energetic atmosphere.

The appearance of famous beauty queens and runners-up has contributed to spreading the youthful, modern image and positive inspiration of ToTEN to the sports fan community and Vietnamese youth.

Through this event, VTF expects ToTEN to become a new community-oriented sports activity, contributing to promoting the movement, building a healthy lifestyle and creating more dynamic playgrounds for Vietnamese people in the coming time.
