Previously, Nam crashed out of the singles event after his first-round 3-6, 4-6 loss to Patrik Niklas-Salminen of Finland.
It is his third Grand Slam junior championship this year, but the Vietnamese player has not made it to any quarter-final.
His best result was a third-round place at the French Open.
