Enjoying the 'small but mighty' athlete at the Thanh Nien Pickleball tournament

Nguyen Tuan Hung attended the 1st Thanh Nien Pickleball Tournament 2024 - VINFAST Cup with his family, including his grandfather, parents and sister. This 10-year-old athlete is petite, making many people at first glance easily judge that "he is not even sure how to hold a racket, let alone compete". However, when entering the field, all the spectators present at Lan Anh Club (where the 1st Thanh Nien Pickleball Tournament 2024 - VINFAST Cup was held) were surprised by Tuan Hung's performance.

Tuan Hung and his mother won third place in the newbie mixed doubles event.

With his solid handling, powerful crosses, quick reflexes to save the ball and tenacious defense, Nguyen Tuan Hung has become the most exciting athlete at the 1st Youth Pickleball Tournament 2024 - VINFAST Cup. Whether competing indoors or outdoors, in children's or mixed doubles... Tuan Hung always attracts the attention of many fans.

Notably, Tuan Hung is also one of the athletes who participated in the most events. Hung registered for the children's event (under 13 years old) with his sister, stood with his mother in the newbie mixed doubles event, and paired with his grandfather in the newbie men's doubles event. Notably, Tuan Hung and his mother surpassed many other strong pairs of athletes to excellently win the bronze medal in the newbie mixed doubles event.

Compared to his physique, Tuan Hung has quite good crosses. This young athlete also shows tenacity in defense and knows how to exploit the opponent's weaknesses.

Even when standing with his mother or grandfather, Tuan Hung plays the role of "the shoulderer". Ms. Huynh Thi Anh Sinh (Tuan Hung's mother) also revealed that many times she has to listen and follow her son's strategies.

Tuan Hung said that after his father took him to practice with him, he immediately liked it and has been practicing for more than 4 months before participating in the 1st Pickleball Youth Tournament 2024 - VINFAST Cup: "I like playing pickleball because this sport is quite gentle, suitable for me. When holding a racket to practice this sport, I also feel that I have a good feeling with the ball."
