Nam ousted from China F3 tennis competition

It was an unexpected loss for the seeded duo as they entered the semi-final round at the F1 tournament two weeks ago.
The loss means that Vietnamese Nam was out of the tournament as he was disqualified in the singles category on February 27.
The tournament will continue until March 5, with US$15,000 up for grabs.
Nam received good news on February 27, as he jumped 33 spots in the world doubles rankings to No 588, but he suffered a drop of eight places in the singles to No 639.
