Le Vietnam a sélectionné 8 joueurs pour le China–ASEAN Open à Guilin, prévu du 30 octobre au 2 novembre. Selon la liste publiée par Dân trí, Trần Tuệ Ngọc et Nguyễn Đắc Tiến font partie de l’équipe, entraînée par Nguyễn Hải Long. Lê Ngọc Anh dirigera la délégation. Le groupe de 10 personnes réunit les athlètes, leur entraîneur et le chef de délégation.
L’autorité sportive vietnamienne confirme par ailleurs qu’une compétition à 32 équipes est prévue, avec des épreuves de simple, de double et de double mixte. Le tirage au sort reste à venir.
Analyse Coachino
Une compétition par équipes répartie sur 5 disciplines favorise une préparation équilibrée et des associations souples. Pour les entraîneurs, la planification diffère donc de celle d’un tournoi uniquement consacré au simple ou au double.

Gabe Tardio says joining Ben Johns in men’s doubles redirected his career—and brought nerves that initially held him back. Speaking on Pickleballers, he explained that he had been considering an Indian pro league and an overseas/APP Tour schedule before Johns approached him.
Tardio instead reached a PPA Tour deal. Their debut at the Mesa Cup in February 2025 ended with silver against Andrei Daescu and Christian Alshon. He said familiarity helped him regain his natural game; the partnership has since collected 19 gold medals and won more than 95% of its matches.
Analyse Coachino
Tardio’s account highlights the pressure of a new partnership: he linked his early hesitation to unfamiliarity with Johns, and greater comfort to time spent playing together.

Zane Navratil has come out against any UPA rule limiting taunting or screaming, Pickleball.com reports. In an Instagram post, the pro said players should be free to show emotion and leave it to fans and social media to decide who has gone too far, adding that indifference harms the sport more than noise does.
He pointed to the NFL's unpopular taunting rule and to the UFC's trash talk, and described pros as entertainers rather than role models. Navratil also admitted regretting his own outburst at the MLP Playoffs.

Whatever the tour decides, juniors copy what they watch. Coaches can set their own standards for celebrations and respect, separate from what entertains a television audience.
