The tournament opened on the morning of October 25 and lasted until October 26, gathering about 300 professional and amateur athletes from many provinces and cities across the country. Among them, there are names that have been stirring up the domestic Pickleball scene such as: Ly Hoang Nam (Vietnam's No. 1 tennis player), Trinh Linh Giang (Asian Pickleball champion), Nathan Willis (18 medals of all kinds in Pickleball tournaments), Carlos Rubic...
After 2 days of exciting competition, the athletes brought dramatic, eye-catching, and emotional Pickleball matches. As the first Vietnamese artist to organize a professional Pickleball tournament, throughout the duration of the Pickleball Kootoro tournament, Tra Ngoc Hang oversaw and inspected every smallest step in the organization with the desire to bring a professional, meticulous tournament with the highest professional quality.
After the closing ceremony and award ceremony, Tra Ngoc Hang and the organizing team were overwhelmed with emotion when the Kootoro 2024 Pickleball tournament was a great success, with all competition categories finding worthy names.
“This will be a lesson as well as a motivation for me and my team to prepare more carefully for the upcoming Pickleball tournaments. Through this tournament, my team and I will definitely improve every aspect next time to contribute to raising the level of Pickleball and spreading the spirit of sportsmanship to the community,” Tra Ngoc Hang shared.
