    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.

    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.

      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.

      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

      @@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 :))

    @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 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".

      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
