of Vietnam faced each other in the men’s singles final, held in Tu Son city of
Bac Ninh province as part of SEA Games 31, on May 22.
As No. 1 in Southeast Asia, Ly Hoang Nam asserted his
level by dominating his teammate, thus winning 6 - 1 in two sets and
successfully defending his SEA Games gold medal.
Nam noted his triumph was partly thanks to good luck since Trinh Linh Giang had
been tired after competing with the region’s leading players in the
quarterfinal and semifinal.
For his part, Giang said the silver was beyond
his expectation as he had only hoped for a bronze medal in the men’s singles. Besides,
he also obtained a bronze in the men’s doubles.
Meanwhile, the bronze medal in the men’s singles belong to Yuttana Charoenphon of Thailand and Mick Lescure
Sadettan of Laos./.
