(Dan Tri) - Tennis player Ly Hoang Nam continued his impressive performance against teammate Trinh Linh Giang when he convincingly won in the quarterfinals of the PPA Tour Asia - Vietnam Cup 2025 pickleball tournament on the afternoon of October 2.

For the first time, Hoang Nam had a victory over Asia's number one tennis player, Linh Giang, when the two tennis players faced each other in the quarterfinals of the men's singles Pro Malaysia Cup on the morning of September 26. At that time, Hoang Nam won with a score of 2-1 (11-3; 8-11; 11-5) to secure a ticket to the semi-finals.

In the reunion in the quarterfinals of the men's singles Pro - Vietnam Cup 2025 at Tien Son Stadium ( Da Nang ), Hoang Nam almost "figured out" his close friend when he easily won 2 quick sets 11-1, 11-0.

Hoang Nam had an impressive match. In the first set, he quickly established a 5-0 lead. Although Trinh Linh Giang managed to regain a point of honor, Hoang Nam did not give his teammate any more chances, scoring 6 consecutive points to end the set with a score difference of 11-1.

Moving into set 2, the scenario unfolded even more quickly. The Tay Ninh native maintained tremendous pressure and completely dominated the game. With a top performance, Hoang Nam closed the match with an overwhelming 11-0 victory, officially registering his name in the semi-finals.

In addition to Ly Hoang Nam, Vietnam also has two other representatives entering the men's doubles semi-finals, Truong Vinh Hien and Phuc Huynh. In the rematch with Asia's number two player Hong Kit Wong (Hong Kong), Vinh Hien learned certain lessons from his two previous defeats.

With a clever "net cover" tactic, the Vietnamese player forced his opponent to retreat deep into the back of the court to defend. His excellent judgment of the situation helped Vinh Hien completely dominate the game and control the game, ending the match easily with an overwhelming 2-0 (11-4; 11-3) victory. This performance showed the incredible effectiveness of the Vietnamese player's attacking style.

Also in the quarter-finals, Phuc Huynh created an earthquake with an explosive performance against his opponent Mitchell Hargreaves (Australia). The representative of Vietnam entered the match strongly and applied a versatile playing style that completely surprised his opponent. With flexibility and superior attacking power, Phuc Huynh won easily 2-0, including a clean set, with scores of 11-0 and 11-2.

This devastating victory not only helped Phuc Huynh advance to the next round but also sent a strong warning to potential opponents of the tournament.

With this result, the semi-finals of the Vietnam Cup 2025 will witness two attractive matches between Ly Hoang Nam and Vinh Hien, while Phuc Huynh faces Thomas Yu (China).
