HÀ NỘI — Lý Hoàng Nam suffered a shock defeat in the second round of the Việt Nam Men’s Futures F 八 tennis tournament’s singles event yesterday in the Bình Dương Province.
Nam, who was seeded No 四, was defeated 七- 五, 四- 六, 二- 六 by Japan’s Ken Onishi in a match that was delayed twice because of rain.
Last week, Nam had beaten unseeded Onishi rather easily at the F 七 tournament at the same venue.
Việt Nam now has no other contestant left in Bình Dương.
The finals are scheduled to take place on Sunday and winners will fight for US$ 一0,000 and bonus points. — VNS
