Ly Hoang Nam entered the quarterfinals of M25 Lucknow India

Blake Ellis was born in 1999 and ranked 598 in the world, while Hoang Nam was in the top 300. And the match started very well with the Vietnamese player. He won two consecutive ball games to lead 4-0, then finished the first set with a score of 6-2.

But in the second set, Hoang Nam made it difficult for himself by twice hitting himself in the decisive situation. Ellis thus broke the deal in game six. Hoang Nam continued to beat himself in the next game, the gap was widened to 2-5 and then lost 3-6. Most likely, after realizing that it was difficult to go upstream, the player born in 1997 calculated to spend energy for the decisive set.

Here, Hoang Nam played more focused and polished. After taking advantage of the Australian opponent's mistake to eat a ball game, he went straight to a 6-3 victory, closing the match after 1 hour and 53 minutes.

In the quarterfinals tomorrow, Hoang Nam will face Siddharth Vishwakarma. The Indian tennis player easily won the French sixth seed Arthur Weber 6-0, 6-0 in 38 minutes. Vishwakarma is ranked 1002nd in the world, but his height of 1.91 meters gives him an advantage in serving. He and Hoang Nam have never faced each other.

M25 Lucknow belongs to the ITF system, which is a lower level than the three Challenger 100 tournaments that Hoang Nam attended before, also in India. At that time, he lost in the first round.

If he wins M25 Lucknow, Hoang Nam will get an additional 25 points, along with a bonus of 3,600 USD (about 85 million VND). In the first round, he defeated American player Dali Blanch 7-6, 6-3.
