American tennis legend Andre Agassi will be in Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday to participate in a pickleball tournament held at the Rach Mieu Sports Complex. 

This event is part of the JOOLA 2025 Pickleball Legends Tour across Asia, which is set to make stops in Vietnam, featuring top pickleball stars and tennis legends.

In addition to Agassi, Ben Joins, Ana Bright, Tyson McGuffin, Collin Johns, Brooker Buckner, and Chao Yi (Zoey) Wang will be touring Vietnam and China from Wednesday to Saturday.

“Being on the ground in China and Vietnam to share the joy and passion that I feel for pickleball with the community is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” said Agassi.

Agassi, 54, began his professional tennis career in 1986.

Over the course of 30 years, he reached the top of the ATP rankings, claimed eight Grand Slam titles, and secured a gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games.

After its stop in Ho Chi Minh City, the tour will move to Hanoi on Thursday.

“As part of our commitment to expanding the global pickleball community, JOOLA is bringing its athletes face-to-face with some of their most dedicated international fans,” said Richard Lee, CEO of JOOLA’s parent company.

“With Asia rapidly emerging as one of the sport’s fastest-growing markets, enthusiasm for pickleball has reached new heights and JOOLA is excited to be a part of that growth."

The JOOLA Global Tour will feature athlete-led clinics, exhibitions, and product demonstrations to introduce the Agassi Pro and JOOLA Pro IV pickleball paddles to the people of Asia.
