Top Vietnamese tennis player suffers elimination from M25 Jakarta

VOV.VN - The nation’s leading tennis player Ly Hoang Nam lost on October 27 in the first round of the ongoing M25 Jakarta Tournament 2022 in Indonesia.

Seeded No.1, Nam was considered the leading contender for the championship title of the men's singles event.

The Vietnamese player, world No. 242, faced off against Arthur Weber of France, world No.913.

In the first set of the tournament Weber enjoyed a good start and recorded a 6-1 victory. The second set continued to see the French player dominate as he beat Nam 6-4.

The match concluded with a result of 2-0 for Weber.

According to Nam’s coach Tran Quoc Phong, the failure will provide Nam with more experience and will give him more time to prepare for three ATP Challenger 80 tournaments in Matsuyama, Kobe, and Yokkaichi from November 7 to November 27.

Elsewhere, local players Pham Minh Tuan and Vu Ha Minh Duc were also forced to bow out of the tournament. In contrast, Trinh Linh Giang became the only Vietnamese player to qualify for the second round in the men’s singles after defeating Luke Sorensen of Australia 2-0.

Moving forward, Giang will face off against Indian player Rawat Sidharth in the next round.
