The World Pickleball Championship (WPC) is a series of international tournaments, especially in the Asia- Pacific region. The WPC Asia Pickleball Grand Slam 2025 will take place in Malaysia from July 16 to 20, bringing together more than 1,500 athletes from more than 20 countries and territories.
With a total prize value of nearly 22,000 USD, the tournament is considered an outstanding international playground, aiming to promote the pickleball movement to develop more strongly in Asia.
Jolie Lam is only 17 years old and has been playing pickleball for about 5 months.
In the final of the women's doubles 4.5+ event held on the evening of July 20, young Vietnamese player Jolie Lam (Lien Ngo Chung Thien Lam) won the championship with her teammate Christine Vong (Malaysia). The player born in 2008 showed a solid playing style, rich in technique and especially a strong spirit.
After an unfavorable start with a 12-15 defeat in the first match against the pair Wong Joan - Joseline Tze Qin, Jolie Lam and Christine Vong quickly regained their spirits, winning the next two matches with scores of 15-10 against Ju Bright/Gloria Tan and 15-4 against Eugenia David/Myra Arisa, thereby advancing to the quarterfinals.
