由高宁、杨子、蔡晓黎、组成的我国男队，半决赛艰难淘汰了越南队之后，3比0击败泰国，赢得冠军。

越南老将团建国在首盘单打赛中发挥不错，在以5比11先丢两局后，以14比12、以11比8扳回两局，但却在决胜局中以9比11落败，让高宁为新加坡拔得头筹。随后上场的杨子遇到阮南海的有力挑战，在苦斗五局后，以13比11、9比11、11比13、11比3、7比11败下阵来，让越南把比分扯平。队中老大哥蔡晓黎在以11比6、11比7领先两局的情况下，让陈俊雄以11比4、11比8、11比2连扳三局，越南此时以2比1领先。眼看形势不妙，高宁不负众望，以11比7、11比9、11比9拿下阮南海，让新加坡扳平比数，保住了出线希望。杨子沉着应战，以12比10、11比2、11比9击退团建国，为新加坡夺取致胜的1分。
