Besides, this SEA Games marked the return of former head coach of the national team Truong Quoc Bao, who will lead the women’s team and 3/4 female tennis players, including three female military players, namely Si Boi Ngoc, Phan Diem Quynh, and Huynh Tran Ngoc Nhi. Particularly, Savanna Ly Nguyen and Si Boi Ngoc have been the national champions of both women's singles and doubles for many years in Vietnamese tennis.
