During the qualifications, on September 9, Nguyen Tien Minh had been beaten and had not obtained a ticket for the main round. In the first round, Duke Phat had also been prematurely eliminated. Hai Dang therefore represents the last hope of the host country.
In the afternoon of September 10, he faced Wang Yu-Kai. These two players are left -handed and have a technical game. The match between them was therefore intense and exciting.
Although Hai Dang is not as tall as his opponent, he has better defensive capacities. His perseverance allows him to resolve difficult blows on several occasions. In the first set, the Vietnamese player took the advantage and even chained the 7 points of a affiliate, winning this set 21-16.
With its mental advantage, Hai Dang continued to play explosively in the second set. He quickly took the advantage 11-5 and retained his advantage. Despite some errors at the end of the set, the gap was large enough to allow Hai Dang to continue his ascent 21-15, thus obtaining his ticket for the second round of the Vietnam 2025 open.
His next opponent will be the winner of the match between Puritat Arreee (Thailand) and Mithun Manjunath (India). After his victory on the first day, Hai Dang said: “I will do my best and I hope at least reach the quarter -finals. This victory is very important for all athletes, because it will allow them to perform well in the next games. »»
