Noh, who also defeated Chung Yeon-yeon (16-JWON TA) 2-0 in the final last year, 스포츠토토 became the eighth player in the history of the Janghoe men’s singles to win back-to-back titles.
Last year, Noh was selected as the second Jangho Next Generation Scholar sponsored by the Jangho Tennis Foundation.
The foundation provides Next Generation Scholars
with an annual travel stipend worth 50 million won to compete in overseas tournaments. Jang Joon Kim (17-Sinkron TA), the first Jangho Next Generation scholar, was seeded first and Ho Young Noh was seeded second.
However, Kim fell 0-2 (4-6, 4-6) to Jung in the first round of the tournament, so the ‘Scholar Derby’ will have to wait until another time.
In the women’s singles final on the same day, Kim Yoo-jin defeated her teammate Choi On-yu (17) 2-0 (6-2, 7-6) to complete her second straight victory.
Kim, who gained experience in major junior tournaments by qualifying for the Australian Open and French Open this year, will graduate from the junior ranks this year and begin her adult tour challenge next year.

The Jang Ho Bae was founded in 1957 with the aim of identifying and developing outstanding junior tennis players at an early age.
