Ahead of the 2024 Olympics, after the draw, Le Duc Phat (ranked 70th in the world ) was in Group K with Prannoy Haseena (India, ranked 13th in the world) and Fabian Roth (Germany, ranked 82nd in the world). Because Prannoy Haseena is always in the top of the world, the coaching staff set a goal for Phat to aim for a good result against Fabian Roth - an opponent that Phat had defeated 2-0 (21-17, 21-19) at the Polish Open in March 2024. At the beginning of the match, Le Duc Phat and Fabian Roth fought fiercely for the first 6 points. After that, the Vietnamese player gradually created a gap. He confidently made cross-court smashes, scoring successfully to win the first set with a score of 21-10. In the second set, the two players had a dramatic battle in the first 10 points before Duc Phat established a gap of 3-6 points. The Vietnamese player played well with vertical and cross-court smashes to win this set with a score of 21-10. In the end, Le Duc Phat won 2-0 (21-10, 21-10) against Fabian Roth after 34 minutes of play. In the previous match in Group K men's singles, Prannoy Haseena (India, ranked 13th in the world) won 2-0 (21-18, 21-12) against Fabian Roth. The match to decide the top spot in Group K between Le Duc Phat and Prannoy Haseena will take place at 0:30 on August 1. The winner of this match will enter the round of 16 to meet the winner of the Group L top-ranking match between Jonatan Christie (Indonesia, world No. 33) and Lakshya Sen (India, world No. 24).
