Vietnam’s Phuc Huynh Bares Goal for 2026 After ‘Unforgettable’ Year of Growth in 2025 – Pickleball News Asia
Vietnamese pickleball star Phuc Huynh was one of the breakout stars of 2025 in the Asian pickleball
That’s not bad at all for someone who spent his first full year living in his home country. This highly successful run isn’t lost on the young man, who recently took to social media to express his gratitude for the year that was—not only in terms of his individual success but also for the growth of pickleball as well.
“2025 has been an unforgettable year. So many memories, new friendships, and goals achieved that I once only dreamed about. This was my first full year living in Vietnam full time, and being able to grow both personally and professionally here has meant everything to me,” Huynh wrote. “Watching the rise and explosive growth of pickleball in Vietnam has been absolutely unreal, and I’m proud to be part of this movement as the sport continues to reach new levels.”
The No. 3-ranked Huynh also acknowledged that 2025 pushed him “in the best ways possible on and off the court” and that he “learned how much more there is to chase,” before thanking his sponsors—Pickleball D-Joy and Zocker Pickleball Việt Nam—and everyone else who has supported him in his journey thus far. He made special mention of his fans, whom Huynh said stood by him and motivated him every single day.
“Your encouragement gives me so much energy to keep pushing forward and striving even harder on the journey ahead,” Huynh wrote further.
Those who believe in and support the Vietnamese rising star can expect bigger, better things, as Huynh bared his goals for 2026.
“2025 was just the beginning. My goal moving forward is simple: to work harder than ever, stay hungry, and do everything I can to make 2026 an even better year—not just for myself, but for the growth of pickleball in Vietnam and beyond,” he said.
That sounds like a plan—and something to look forward to for sure.
