In the group stage, Tran Quyet Chien was in group C with Tran Thanh Luc, Pierre Soumagne and Mahmoud Ayman. This group is considered easy but also full of challenges for Quyet Chien.
However, what worries fans is that Tran Quyet Chien lost the first two matches against Thanh Luc and Soumagne, making the chance of going on very slim.
But in the face of challenges, Tran Quyet Chien showed his mettle and stability. He won convincingly 40-28 against Mahmoud Ayman, and his compatriot Thanh Luc also helped somewhat when he defeated Soumagne with a score of 40-25.
With this result, Tran Quyet Chien, Soumagne and Ayman all had a record of 1 win, 2 losses, but thanks to an outstanding scoring efficiency of 1.287 (Soumagne 1.130 and Ayman 0.851), Tran Quyet Chien squeezed through the narrow door to continue to the next round of this year's tournament.
In Group A, world number 1 player Dick Jaspers continues to show his absolute strength by winning all 3 matches, and is a big competitor of Tran Quyet Chien for the championship.
Chiem Hong Thai has excellently won the ticket to continue, surpassing his compatriot Tran Duc Minh. Meanwhile, Bao Phuong Vinh, despite having a record of 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, was still eliminated due to a lower goal difference than Berkay Karakurt.
On December 6 and 7 (Vietnam time), the tournament continues with the round of 16 and quarter-finals. Tran Quyet Chien will face Sameh Sidhom, Chiem Hong Thai will meet Dick Jaspers and Tran Thanh Luc will face Cho Myung Woo.
