Hoang Nam eliminated from ATP Challenger Kobe
VOV.VN - The nation’s leading tennis player Ly Hoang Nam has been forced to bow out of the ATP Challenger Kobe which is currently underway in Japan.
In the first round of the men’s singles event, Nam, world No.234, took on Frederico Ferreira Silva, world No.291, of Portugal.
During the first set, Nam endured failure as he was beaten 6-2 by the Portuguese rival. The Vietnamese player was then able to balance the score before making a series of mistakes, ultimately being defeated 6-4 in the second set.
The match meant that the Tay Ninh-born player did not perform as well as expected in the third consecutive tournament in Japan, being unable to accumulate any additional ATP points.
As scheduled, Nam will continue to compete at the ATP Challenger Yokkaichi which will be held in Japan from November 21 to November 27.
