Due to an abdominal injury, Quang Duong was unable to continue playing and was forced to withdraw from the match. This meant that the pair Truong Vinh Hien and Do Minh Quan automatically won the men's doubles Open title.

This incident caused widespread disappointment among fans present at Happyland Stadium ( Hanoi ), as they had come hoping to witness the top-class performances of this pickleball star in his final match.

Currently, the exact extent of Quang Duong's injury remains unclear.

He once defeated world number one Ben Johns and leads the Vietnamese rankings.
