Nam in first Challenger Tour semi after win in Bangkok Open

HÀ NỘI — Lý Hoàng Nam has for the first time advanced to the semi-finals of a Challenger Tour event after his win on August  二 六 morning in Nonthaburi Province, Thailand.

Unseeded Nam beat No  一 seed Alastair Gray of Britain   六- 四,  七- 五 in the quarter-final round of the Challenger Bangkok Open  一 tennis tournament.

Nam reached his best world ranking of No  三 二 八 early this week while Gray is currently No  二 五 五.

Nam was former Wimbledon boy's double champion while his rival received a wildcard and advanced to the The All England Lawn Tennis Championships' second round in June.

In their match, Nam secured a break point in the sixth game of the first match and he maintained his advantage till the end despite Gray's strong effort to level the score. Nam,  一. 七 五m, nearly  二0cm shorter than his rival took it  六- 四.

In the second set, Nam also earned a break point in the sixth game. But the Briton made use of Nam's rare mistake in the eighth game to bag a break point back and level at  四- 四. 

Both two sides drew  五- 五 in the next two games before Nam won the last two when Gray's made unforced errors and lost his break point.

The win gives Nam  一 七 points in the world ranking and a US$ 一, 八00 bonus. 

He will play the winner of the match between Alibek Kachmazov of Russia and Dane Sweeny from Australia, which will be held on August  二 七. 

Nam is expected to advance to the final, and whatever the result will be in top  三00, a new height for his career and his target for the year. VNS
