Tien Minh, said, “I have competed in the past three Australian Open tournaments. I have really enjoyed my time in Australia and am looking forward to my fourth outing.”
Entries for the 2013 Yonex Australian Open close on 5 March with Badminton Australia expecting a number of top 10 players in the Men’s and Women’s singles, Men’s and Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles categories to compete for the Australian Open titles, and a share in the largest prize package of any event played in the Oceania region - a whopping US $120,000.
Minster for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris, welcomed the return of the Yonex Australian Open Badminton series to Sydney.
“After a sell-out finals series that thrilled crowds in 2012, Sydney is once again set to host the world’s best Badminton players during the 2013 Yonex Australian Open,” Mr Souris said.
“With an international viewing audience of over 100 million in key tourism markets including South East Asia, the tournament, secured by Destination NSW, continues to showcase Sydney as a must-visit destination for world-class events,” Mr Souris said.
