The final match took place at the Studenac Arena court at Stella Maris (prize fund of USD 3,000), where Han defeated his fellow South Korean Sang-Ho Oh 6:7, 6:2, 7:6. The finalist received his trophy from Vladimir Jovanoski, CEO of the Croatian Tennis Association, while Tomislav Poljak, tournament director, awarded the trophy to the winner.

 

The South Korean players also dominated in the doubles tournament, where Sung Bong-Han and Sang-Ho Oh defeated Martin Legner and Jozef Riegler with 6:0, 6:1, and the final match was attended by Goran Ivanišević, who congratulated them on their excellent performance and awarded them their trophy.

 

“Our fifth tournament was a definite success. I am happy with the participants who joined us, and the final match was very exciting, as it lasted over 3 hours. I’m certain we’ll be back next year, and I’d like to once again thank Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag for another excellent year of cooperation, as well as our sponsor HEP, for their long-standing support,” said Anto Joskić, tournament organiser and Croatia’s most successful wheelchair tennis player.
