(NLĐO) - Having just won the U18 girls' doubles title at the Asia Pickleball Junior Open 2025 last week, Jolie Lam continued her winning streak by taking the 4.5+ girls' doubles title at the World Pickleball Championship 2025.

The World Pickleball Championship (WPC) is a series of international tournaments, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The WPC Asia Pickleball Grand Slam 2025 took place in Malaysia from July 16 to 20, bringing together over 1,500 athletes from more than 20 countries and territories.

With a total prize pool of nearly $22,000, the tournament is considered a prominent international platform aimed at further promoting the development of pickleball in Asia.

Jolie Lam is only 17 years old and has been playing pickleball for about 5 months.

In the women's doubles 4.5+ final held on the evening of July 20th, young Vietnamese player Jolie Lam (Lien Ngo Chung Thien Lam) excellently won the championship with her teammate Christine Vong (Malaysia). The player born in 2008 displayed a solid, technically skilled playing style and, especially, unwavering mental strength.

After a rocky start with a 12-15 loss in their first match against Wong Joan and Joseline Tze Qin, Jolie Lam and Christine Vong quickly recovered, winning their next two matches 15-10 against Ju Bright/Gloria Tan and 15-4 against Eugenia David/Myra Arisa, thus advancing to the quarterfinals.
