HÀ NỘI — Lý Hoàng Nam of Việt Nam came second at the Việt Nam F 二 Futures tennis tournament, which closed in Bình Dương Province yesterday.
Nam lost 六- 七 ( 四), 三- 六 to Jonathan Gray of England in the singles final match, which went on for over two hours.
The Vietnamese, who is the No. 六 seed here, was expected to win his first title on the home turf after beating No. 二 seed, Sanjar Fayziev, of Ukraine and No. 三 seed, Enzo Couacaud, of France in previous matches. But he appeared too tired to win against Gray, an unseeded player. Gray beat No. 四 seed, Sasi Kumar Mukund, of India in the semi-finals.
In the doubles event, a mixed pair of Miliaan Niesten from the Netherlands and Francesco Vilardo of Italy, the No. 四 seed duo, won 六- 二, 七- 六 ( 三) over No. 一 Daniiar Duldaev of Kyrgyzstan and Fayziev to take the title.
Players will continue with the F 三 competition from November 二0 to 二 六 at the same venue. — VNS
