Hai Duong is unlikely to have another gold medal at the 2023 National Strong Teams Table Tennis Tournament

Hai Duong's only gold medal to date was won by Nguyen Duc Tuan, Doan Ba ​​Tuan Anh and Nguyen Duy Phong in the men's team event. This is considered the most prestigious gold medal of the tournament and the Hai Duong table tennis team's achievement was completely beyond expectations. Before the tournament, the team was expected to win the gold medal in the mixed doubles event of Nguyen Duc Tuan - Bui Ngoc Lan.

However, in the semi-final round taking place on the afternoon of October 25, Nguyen Duc Tuan - Bui Ngoc Lan unexpectedly lost their ticket to the final after being defeated by a new 17-year-old couple from the Army with a score of 3-2.

In the men's and women's singles, Hai Duong's chances of winning a gold medal are very low, because Hai Duong's key players always have difficulty when facing players like Nguyen Anh Tu (Hanoi), Mai Hoang My Trang (Ho Chi Minh City); Dinh Anh Hoang, Le Dinh Duc, Tran Mai Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Nga (T&T)... The men's team gold medal that Hai Duong won after defeating T&T, but when facing each other in the men's singles, it will be completely different and much more difficult.

Before the tournament, the Hai Duong team was assigned the target of winning 1 gold medal, which was completely suitable for the current strength of the team when the team was being rejuvenated, the main players showed signs of slowing down, while young players such as Nguyen Duy Phong, Bui Huu Huy, Dinh Quang Minh... did not have much experience competing in top tournaments.
