2011 MIT Boston Open (5/13-5/15)

It was yet another adventure to MIT for Bintang's pro players to participate in this year's Boston Open! The weather was mild, the venue was nice. Being at MIT just made them all feel a little bit smarter, but remember, they were there for an athletic competition. :]


And despite the scare of the "China team" that was participating, our pro players once again proved themselves as champions. The China players who trained at the Li Yong Bo Academy turned out to be mostly juniors in their late teens; the females were insanely good but not so much the males (luckily for our guys). Ilian won all of his games in straight sets to claim the men's singles title. Minh and partner Yee won mixed doubles. Coach and partner Daphne won senior mixed doubles. And Minh and Holvy won men's doubles, for the second year in a row! It was a great weekend indeed and we are very proud of our coaches!

(BTW, congrats to team member Charlie Yang who was accepted to MIT, though he chose to attend Stanford instead -- yay, Charlie! :)
