Men’s doubles No. 1, Quang Duong, has officially signed with Vietnam-based Wika Pickleball, giving Vietnam’s fast-rising pickleball scene a headline partnership to open 2026. The announcement was made through Wika’s official channels and centers on a long-term collaboration tied to Vietnamese pickleball development.

Wika’s statement set the tone for what comes next - new gear, new milestones, and a clear emphasis on Vietnam’s place in the sport’s next phase.

“Wika QD” Arrives With Two Paddle Builds

Wika is tying the partnership to a signature collection branded “Wika QD,” featuring at least two paddle variants: QD Air and QD Fire.

The QD Air is presented as Wika’s first full-foam core paddle, built around an AIRFOAM core system and paired with a Carbon Gen 5 X100 face. The QD Fire is promoted with a FIRECORE build and a Carbon Gen 6 X911 face, with marketing that emphasizes pop, spin-focused surface texture, and stability.

From Sypik to Wika: A New Vietnam-Based Partnership

Duong’s move to Wika follows his previous sponsorship with another Vietnam-based pickleball brand, Sypik. Sypik publicly marked the end of its partnership with Duong in early January 2026, closing a chapter that included the release of the Sypik Avatar Collection.

With Wika, the next chapter is being framed around a new signature line - “Wika QD” - that the brand describes as “fueled by relentless movement on court and breakthrough technology debuting for the first time.”

In a region where pickleball continues to expand across clubs, tournaments, and gear ecosystems, this signing is a clear example of Vietnam’s local player-and-brand pipeline becoming more visible. It pairs a Vietnamese athlete with a Vietnamese company and places a Vietnam-branded signature line into the broader mix of Asia’s growing pickleball market.
