He now stands at No. 430 for the first time.

Nam’s performance was not up to the mark as he could not qualify beyond the first round of the men’s singles in the Vietnam F3 Futures tennis tournament. Therefore, he could not collect more points. However, he fared better than other tennis players who dropped in their rankings. 

Meanwhile, 17-year-old Nguyen Van Phuong rose 98 steps and ranks No 1,332. Trinh Linh Giang also rose 159 steps and ranks No 1,336.
