Will be rooting for this kid! That’s a solid background!

His parents seem awesome, maybe even an example of what ideal sports parents should act and think like.

Will be following this extremely talented down to earth young man! Learner was raised the right way by his parents. Learner is doing awesome this summer in the Challenger circuit, and soon he'll be playing on the main tour and I'm sure he'll be highly successful and great things lie ahead for this awesome young young man. Rooting for you Learner!! 👍👏🎾🎾

Came here after watching his match with Carreno just now. I love hearing his dad talk, I could listen to him all day. So much wisdom.

@brandonchan8255 2 ай бұрын

I came here after watching his match with Tiafoe. Tien's dad is a lawyer, so Tien's sister's first name is Justice. Learner is from his mom being a math teacher. I think that's so cool.

At 16 years old, Learner played the main draw at the US Open and won the first set off #30 Kecmanovic. Just last year Learner played the US Open again and lost a tough first round draw to then #10 Francis Tiafoe. He’s improving rapidly and will be top 100 within a few years.

@brandonchan8255 2 ай бұрын

This year, Tien doesn't have an easier draw either. He's up against Fils. Given his size and temperament, he would have to improve a lot just to break into the top 100.

You are a talented young tennis player. You just need to find the right coach, and you will be on your way to the top 100 very soon. Keep up the hard work, and it will pay off very soon. Good luck with your future and your tennis career.

Great story but Vietnam is not a Third World country anymore. It’s a thriving country. I’ve lived there seven years. It’s an amazing place. I would suggest bringing your family to Vietnam and see how it is now you might not want to go back to USA.

@Waingro808 6 ай бұрын

Be objective. It has developed a lot, but it is still a low income country. I've travelled all over there. Dalat is the best.

@williamduval9856 6 ай бұрын

You are correct, Vietnam is more like a developing country now with the population of nearly 100,000 million people. In 10 years it’ll be a mini China because Vietnamese people are always thriving and better themselves.

@fakegia7006 6 ай бұрын

Let’s be honest Vietnam is still a very impoverished country. Most people go there as tourists, seeking enjoyment with the US dollar, you don’t see the realistic sides of the country, it lacks basics in healthcare, education, etc…the country’s leaders have absolutely no college education

@nganh4485 6 ай бұрын

@@fakegia7006 what basics in healthcare and education you are talking about? Lots of people from "developing countries" have come to our "very impoverished country" for cheap and affordable healthcare treatment, foreign students seeks medical experience here. At least Vietnamese does not suffocate of the medical debt like 100 million people in the US :))

@lavanchung9428 5 ай бұрын

@@fakegia7006yeah, you are right that Vietnam is still impoverished countries. However, it develops step by step. Its economics is harmonizing to the worlds economics. They have more chances to develop fastly now and future.

@0:45 - 0:49 they might have lost a section of fans by stating "we always thought of ourselves as being chinese living in Vietnam". I guess the mom dont need us Vietnamese as fans because although she and her husband were Vietnamese born, they never felt being Vietnamese but rather they're ancestral roots; chinese. If that's how she feels then it is what it is. I would still cheer for her young son to be successful but he would have a stronger Vietnamese fan base if the Tien were "vietnamese". In this case they're not according to the mom

@EdgewoodTennis 6 ай бұрын

I have a friend who is ethnic Chinese that fleed Vietnam and came to the US. He considers himself to be Chinese, too.

@saidroid3220 6 ай бұрын

@@EdgewoodTennis if that's how they feel then it's their choice. Nothing wrong with staying within your ancestral roots. But if they feel that they're vietnamese also then i think our mother land and vietnamese abroad would welcome them as well. We Vietnamese are not like western societies where we would say/think "go back to where you came from".

@QuangNguyen-ng5zh 6 ай бұрын

Agreed, especially when most US Vietnamese opposed Chinese government. Kinda weird for her to say that. Maybe she meant most Americans think all Asians are Chinese?

@@asiaticonaeuropa it is weird. These chinese migrated from china to vietnam long ago dating back to the very LEAST the last imperial monarch the Manchurian but for some reason they dont want to be vietnamese 🤷🤷 One thing i do really admire about these chinese vietnamese is that although they were born and raised in vietnam, most of them were fine to just staying within their community. I guess Vietnam was quite poor back in the days as most of these chinese that were born and raised in vietnam never even bothered learning the Vietnamese language

He is too good. Sounds like he doesn't go to college; the college experience is not really that special compare to high school. If he really wants to college, then he can try to win the NCAA Division I men's tennis championships; then leave. :)
