Padel Vietnam Open 2025 - Vietravel Cup not only creates a national playground for athletes to compete, but also marks a new step forward for the Vietnam padel movement. The success of the tournament is a great motivation for Vietpadel Club and padel development units across the country, said Mr. Le Pham Thanh Phong - Director of Vietpadel.

The tournament saw highly rated players show convincing performance, moving into the final round and bringing top-notch confrontations to the audience. The deeper you go, the more padel's unique skills and tactics stand out from pure tennis, showing the appeal of this sport and promising to attract more semi-professional and professional tennis players to try their hand in the near future.

Athlete Rita (HCMC) said: The first time participating in a national tournament, I clearly felt the competition and the scale were greater. I hope there will be more national tournaments in the coming time".

With the success achieved in the tournament held for the first time, the Vietnam Tennis Federation will continue to plan for development, raising the level of the tournament in 2026, aiming to expand the scale of international athletes; increase the number of professional matches; bring Padel to a deeper reach to young people and the grassroots sports community.

Padel is developing strongly in many countries in the region such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand or the Philippines and has been included in a number of major sporting events. It is a very encouraging thing for Vietnam to quickly grasp the general trend of the world, to widely spread Padel to everyone, towards the ability to compete with neighboring countries and go further in continental competitions.
