Ly Hoang Nam stopped at the quarter-finals of the Thai professional tournament.

Losing to Andre Dome (USA) after 2 sets (1/6, 3/6), tennis player Ly Hoang Nam stopped at the quarter-finals of the Thailand F2 Futures tennis tournament.

Andre Dome, born in 1990, ranked 996th in the ATP rankings, completely surpasses Ly Hoang Nam in age (born in 1997) and experience (ranked 1,445). The Vietnamese tennis player admitted that his opponent was too strong so he could do nothing but give up after 2 quick sets.

Statistics on the tournament website show that the American player is better than Ly Hoang Nam in every aspect. He had 6 aces, and broke his opponent's serve 5 times. Meanwhile, the Vietnamese player had no aces, and broke his opponent's serve once.

Before participating in the Thailand F2 Futures, Andre Dome reached the quarterfinals of the men's singles and 1/16 of the men's doubles at the Futures F1 tournament also in Bangkok. Although the American player is ranked 449 places above Ly Hoang Nam, he has not had many outstanding achievements in his career. He mainly participates in Futures tournaments (the lowest level in the professional competition system).

For Ly Hoang Nam, this is the second time he has reached the quarterfinals of a Futures tournament after the Indonesia F1 Futures last month. In May, the Tay Ninh player will participate in a number of clay court tournaments to prepare for the Roland Garros junior tournament, the second Grand Slam of the year.
