On October 25, the Vietnam Tennis Federation announced the first two players to receive a place to participate in the 33rd SEA Games, Vu Ha Minh Duc and Savanna Ly-Nguyen. It is expected that they will compete in the men's and women's singles at the 33rd SEA Games.
Vu Ha Minh Duc has just won the men's singles championship at the 2025 National Tennis Championship. With this result, Vu Ha Minh Duc won the national men's singles championship for the third consecutive time. More importantly, the tennis player has received an official ticket to the SEA Games for the first time.
At the 32nd SEA Games held in Cambodia, Vu Ha Minh Duc did not participate. At that time, the representatives competing in the men's singles event of the Vietnam Tennis Team were Ly Hoang Nam and Trinh Linh Giang.
Tennis players Ly Hoang Nam and Trinh Linh Giang will not participate in the 33rd SEA Games. Therefore, the responsibility of winning the men's singles medal will be on Vu Ha Minh Duc's shoulders.
At the 32nd SEA Games, Ly Hoang Nam won the silver medal in men's singles. Previously, this tennis player won the gold medal in men's singles at the 30th SEA Games in 2019 and the 31st SEA Games in 2022.
On the men's singles rankings of the Vietnam Tennis Federation in October, Vu Ha Minh Duc is number 1 position.
The Vietnamese tennis team aims to strive for medals at the 33rd SEA Games. The Vietnam Tennis Federation will announce a team of 10 official tennis players (5 men's, 5 women's) in the coming time.
