On the afternoon of May 18, Ly Hoang Nam met Phuc Huynh again in the final match of the professional men's singles of a large-scale pickleball tournament in District 7 (HCMC). This was the second time Nam and Phuc played against each other.

Ly Hoang Nam eagerly waited for this opportunity to "collect the debt". Both of them excelled over many domestic and foreign players to meet each other in the final match that the audience was eagerly waiting for.

The first set belonged to Phuc Huynh. He led 10-0 before Nam scored the first and final score of 10-1. The 1997-born player avoided losing the game 11-0.

Phuc Huynh's performance is still stable after winning the title in Dubai. It seems that Phuc will crush Ly Hoang Nam in this match and easily win the title on his "home field".

At this moment, the mettle of Vietnam's number 1 tennis player was shown. Without pressure, without tension, Nam comfortably entered game 2 and started as if nothing had happened.

Ly Hoang Nam led 7-2 in game 2. The game had many moments where Nam argued with the referee. He won 11-6 to extend the match to another round before being crowned.

Phuc Huynh made more and more mistakes in the crucial game. His powerful backhands sent the ball into the net or out. At the end of the play, Phuc also hit out.

In the end, Ly Hoang Nam defeated Phuc Huynh 2-1 (1-11, 11-6 and 11-4) to win the championship.
