On February 2nd, overseas Vietnamese tennis player Quang Duong marked a new milestone when launching the pickleball product collection "First Flame" in collaboration with the Wika brand, including rackets and shoes. The collection is Quang Duong's story of competition and journey beyond limits.
Quang Duong is not a strange name to the international pickleball world. Coming from tennis, he was soon trained in a professional competition environment with discipline, physical strength and good tactical thinking. However, a hand injury affected Quang Duong's tennis career and forced him to find a new direction.
Pickleball appeared at the right time, becoming a choice to help Quang Duong return to the court. From a fairly new sport, he quickly adapted, taking advantage of the available technical foundation to develop a modern, fast and effective playing style.
In just a short time, Quang Duong has continuously created a buzz at international tournaments, including important championships when he was still very young.
Quang Duong's success is not only in titles, but in the way this player affirms his position in the professional pickleball community. He is highly appreciated for his ability to control the pace of the match, quick reflexes on the net and stability in decisive moments. These are also factors that help Quang Duong's name be mentioned regularly at major tournaments.
The journey from tennis to pickleball shows adaptability and the will to overcome limits. Quang Duong's story also reflects a part of the new face of Vietnamese pickleball on the journey of integration with the world.

Representing Vietnamese pickleball to compete and win gold medals in international tournaments, that is the wish shared by "pickleball prodigy" Quang Duong at the event on the morning of February 2:
I started my career in tennis, where I learned discipline, bravery and a spirit of victory. Injury once forced me to stop and raised big questions about my future playing. Pickleball came like a timely opportunity – not only helping me return to the court, but also opening a new path for me to develop and assert myself.
From that starting point, Quang Duong quickly made his mark when he won his first international titles at a very young age. According to this tennis player, success is not only personal but also reflects the strong development potential of pickleball.
The first international tournaments gave me the belief that pickleball is a modern sport, rich in connectivity and booming around the world. In Vietnam, I see great potential, from mass movements to professional competition" - Quang Duong added.
