The Vietnamese men's table tennis players won convincingly in the semi-final to compete for the gold medal in the team event.

On the afternoon of December 14 at the 33rd SEA Games, the Vietnamese men's table tennis players entered the team event final. The men's team's final will be decided when we beat the Malaysian men's team in the semi-finals.

Nguyen Anh Tu was the pioneer in the final match. The Hanoian tennis player was 8-11 behind in the first set by opponent Wong Qi Shen. However, Nguyen Anh Tu regained his confidence and won 11-5, 11-6, 11-5 in the following games to win the final.

In the end, the Vietnam men's table tennis team won 3-0 in the semi-finals, qualifying for the finals. We will compete for the championship with the winning team in the Singapore - Philippines semi-final.

The last time the Vietnamese table tennis team entered the men's team event final at the SEA Games was in 2017 in Malaysia. At that time, the Vietnamese players won gold medals. After 8 years, the Vietnam men's table tennis team returned to the men's team final of the SEA Games arena.

According to the schedule, the final match is scheduled to take place at 4:00 p.m. local time on December 14. Today is also the final day of competition for the SEA Games 33 table tennis team.
