On the Vietnam Open 2025, Hai Dang is placed seventh. He is also the only Vietnamese tennis player who is still playing in the men’s pivot game.

Earlier, in the qualifying round on September 9, Nguyen was defeated ten minh and did not receive a ticket for the main round. In the meantime, Le Duc Phat was eliminated early in the first round. Hai Dang is therefore the last hope of the host country.

On the afternoon of 10 September he played against Wang Yu-Kai. These two players are both left -handed and have a technical playing style. The game between the two was therefore exciting and exciting.

Although Hai Dang is not as long as his opponent, he has a better defensive capacity. His perseverance helps him to overcome difficult strokes. In set 1, the Vietnamese had the advantage and at some point created a series of 7 points. He won this set 21-16.

With the mental advantage, Hai Dang continued to play explosively in set 2. He soon took the lead (11-5) and retained that lead. Despite a few errors at the end of the set, the lead was still big enough for Hai Dang to win 21-15 and thereby get a ticket for round 2 of the Vietnam Open 2025.

His next opponent is the winner of the match between Puritat Arreee (Thailand) and Mithun Manjunath (India). After the victory on the first day, Hai Dang said: “I will do my best and hope to get the quarterfinals at least. The victory on the first day is very important for all athletes, because it is a springboard to play well in the following games.”

Among the women, ten Minh’s wife, Vu Thi Trang, gave up after she lost 15-21, 20-22 against Ashmita Chaliha (India).
