Duong Brothers Quang, Bao Bring Asian Star Power to PH With Wika Forged in Fire Tour
Quang Duong and Bao Duong, the young pickleball siblings rocketing to pickleball superstardom, concluded their Wika Pickleball Forged in Fire Tour in the Philippines on Sunday, 11 October 2026—and they will be leaving the Pearl of the Orient with medals and the admiration of fans from both the northern and southern parts of the country.
Quang and Bao’s Forged in Fire Tour in the Philippines was a whirlwind one to say the least, and it began on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, with a meet-and-greet at Juego SM Seaside. Filipino fans came in droves to see the brothers live and in the flesh—and they did not go home disappointed as the Vietnamese duo signed autographs, gamely posed for photos, and interacted with fans throughout the day.
Things only got hectic for the Duong brothers from there. Over the weekend, the two competed in the Philippine Pickleball League Cebu Open 2026, and they did not end up empty-handed—even if it was an unplanned, spur-of-the-moment decision to join, according to Quang himself.
After two days of high-level competition, Quang, the elder of the two, showed exactly why he is one of pickleball’s biggest stars as he blazed his way to the Men’s Singles Open final and held his nerve in a thrilling three-set finale against Linh Giang Trinh. While showing out in Men’s Singles, Quang also took part in Men’s Doubles Open with Bao, and the two made it all the way to the gold-medal match opposite Trinh and partner Quốc Khánh Lê. The all-Vietnam finale proved enthralling, but the Duong siblings ultimately fell short, 11–9, 11–7.
There would be no rest for the young visitors as they next flew to Manila, where they held another meet-and-greet, this time at Dink Arena PH in Las Piñas. As at Juego SM Seaside, Quang and Bao were welcomed by adoring fans, and the Duong brothers returned the favour once more. Again, Quang and Bao regaled fans, took pictures with them, and signed for autographs—all with smiles that seemed never to waver even as the day continued to be busy.
The Duong brothers’ Forged in Fire Philippines Tour was made possible by Wika Pickleball, Juego, and Pickle Lab.
