At the 2025 World Badminton Championship, Vietnam Badminton had two players playing in the men's singles. Le Duc Phat, who attended the Paris Olympic Games, was one of those two representatives. In this year's tournament, Duc Phat fell into a relatively difficult branch because he did not have too high rankings.
The opponent of Duc Phat in the first round of the male battalion in the 2025 world championship is Julien Carraggi, the Belgian player. At the peak of form, Julien Carraggi ranked 40th in the world. He had a ticket to attend the Paris Olympic Games last year and had 4 titles of Challenge and International.
In the past, Duc Phat and Julien Carraggi had encountered each other once. It was a match that took place 3 months ago, when they met at the preliminary round of the Malaysian Masters 2025 badminton tournament (Super 500). Duc Phat was the one who won that day, but the difference between the two sides was very small.
The match between Duc Phat and Julien Carraggi closed with a score of 2-0 (21-19, 21-18) in favor of Vietnam representative. It was the match that witnessed Julien Carraggi overtaking at some time. But until the decisive scores, Duc Phat was the one who finished each game.
In the case of Duc Phat overcoming Julien Carraggi, he will meet the winner in the match between Shi Yu Qi and Lakakhya Sen. Both are the top rivals. Shi Yu Qi attended the tournament as the world's No. 1 player, and Lakakya Sen once ranked 4th at the Paris Olympic Games 2024.
