After breezing through the first set yesterday, Mak Brandon had to work hard in the second before wrapping up a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Touch Sophearoth. The tournament’s top seed Bun Kenny and the in-from Long Samneang joined forces to pull off a 6-2, 7-6 victory over Yi Keavirak and Chhay Panhavuti in the men’s doubles, while another strong pair Ek Chamroeun and Orn Sambath got the better of Sok Samath and Kan Sophon 6-0, 6-4.

MILLICOM International Cellular, former owner of Cambodia’s largest mobile provider Mobitel, reported a second-quarter profit of US$929 million, a 14 percent growth year on year.
