Nguyen Van Phuong and Nicholas Khamphilath were announced as Kaitashi pickleball brand ambassadors at The Next Chapter event in Ho Chi Minh City. Thanh Nien reported that actor Chi Bao introduced them as prominent members of Zorba X Pro.

Chi Bao expressed hope that the partnership would support their professional development. The announcement marks a commercial partnership in their sporting careers, rather than a competitive honor or a new championship result.
