Vinh Hien defeated Ly Hoang Nam to win the Australian PPA Tour pickleball championship.

(NLDO) - In the men's singles final of the PPA Tour Australia on the morning of November 16, Vinh Hien defeated Ly Hoang Nam in 2 sets, despite the match being interrupted for nearly 2 hours due to rain.

On the morning of November 16, Ly Hoang Nam and Truong Vinh Hien clashed to determine the PPA Tour Australia professional men's singles champion. In the first set, Ly Hoang Nam opened the score but Vinh Hien gradually took the lead 3-1, 5-2 and 10-4.

Although he started the match with determination and took an early lead, Vinh Hien had to make a great effort to maintain his advantage over his senior Ly Hoang Nam at the end of the set. His limited movement showed that his leg injury had not yet fully recovered and Hien was forced to ask for a "time-out" to regain his breath and spirit when the score was 10-6. After a short break, the young player excellently closed out set 1 with a score of 11-9.

Entering set 2, Ly Hoang Nam showed clear signs of mental strength, while Vinh Hien played more and more confidently to lead 6-1, 10-1. When the score was 10-3, the match entered Medical time and a major turning point when heavy rain interrupted the match for nearly 2 hours, and that further consolidated Vinh Hien's advantage.

As soon as he returned to the field, everything went as planned. Truong Vinh Hien coolly finished the match and defeated Ly Hoang Nam for the second time in the PPA Tour.

This victory is not simply a victory, but also a strong affirmation of Truong Vinh Hien's mettle and maturity after the "drama" at the PPA Cup in Da Nang 2025.

Looking more broadly, the top Vietnamese pickleball players are currently considered capable of entering the strongest group in Asia, no longer afraid of any opponent.
