Quang Duong Pickleball Triumphs Vietnam: Vietnam’s top pickleball player Quang Duong proved his class over the weekend in Quang Ninh by winning two gold medals in a local tournament. Competing as a free agent, Duong captured titles in both Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles, showing the skill that once took him to the highest levels of the sport.
Two Titles, Two Partners
Quang Duong first teamed with Amanda Hendry to win the Mixed Doubles gold medal. He then joined Casey Diamond to claim the Men’s Doubles crown. Both victories came against some of Vietnam’s strongest teams, underscoring Duong’s unmatched ability on the court.
Beating Vietnam’s Best
In Men’s Doubles, Quang Duong and Casey Diamond defeated Trinh Linh Giang and Ly Hoang Nam in the semifinals before overpowering Phuc Huynh and Tama Shimabukuro for the title. Trinh Linh Giang and Ly Hoang Nam recently earned silver and bronze medals in Men’s Singles at the Hong Kong Open 2025, while Phuc Huynh captured gold at the Vietnam Open. Despite their achievements, none could slow down Duong’s powerful and precise play.
Partners Add Strength
While Amanda Hendry and Casey Diamond are skilled players in their own right, Quang Duong’s dominance stood out. His speed, power, and quick reflexes consistently outshone even Vietnam’s top-ranked opponents, leaving little doubt about why he remains the nation’s number one player.
Why He Stands Apart
Quang Duong’s performance highlighted a gap between his level and that of other regional stars. His superior touch and technique raised questions about why he continues to compete locally instead of returning to the United States, where the world’s best players battle on the PPA Tour.
