Ly Hoang Nam lost all the time in India
The seventh game of the second set, when the score was 30-30, Hoang Nam pressed hard, making it difficult for the opponent to return the ball. But when Giustino lost the momentum, the Vietnamese player hit again. In the next two situations, Hoang Nam continued to make a mistake of hitting the ball, letting Giustino end the match as soon as he got the first match-point. This is a typical image of Hoang Nam in this battle.
Hoang Nam ranked 245th ATP, only 22 places behind Giustino, but this matchup at Pune Metropolitan Region Challenger shows a huge difference. The Vietnamese player moved with difficulty in front of the opponent's skillful ball movements, and made many mistakes. He was repeatedly broken by the Italian player and lost quickly after 1 hour 4 minutes 49 seconds, with a score of 1-6 in both sets.
The defeat to Gustino caused Hoang Nam to lose all three of the Chanllengers 100 in India in the first match. This shows that the coaching staff of the number one tennis player in Vietnam seems to have calculated incorrectly when letting him play on the ATP Challenger 100. Hoang Nam will be more suitable if he plays the ATP 50 or M25 tournaments.
Previously, Hoang Nam lost to Arthur Cazaux at Challenger 100 Chennai on February 13 and Sumit Nagal at the Bengaluru Open on February 21. At the end of the tour in India, he will return to Vietnam to prepare for the next tournament.
Currently, Hoang Nam refuses to gather the team to prepare for the SEA Games, due to problems with the Vietnam Tennis Federation.
