Vietnamese tennis player Ly Hoang Nam is set to participate in three consecutive Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Challenger tournaments in India, starting from February 13.
Nam will take part in the Chennai Open Challenger, the Bengaluru Open, and the KPIT MSLTA Challenger, all of which are scheduled to get underway in the Indian cities of Chennai, Bangalore, and Pune.
The tournaments are parts of the ATP Challenger 100 system with the champion to receive 100 points at the ATP rankings.
The events will offer Nam the chance to face strong international rivals, including Tseng Chun-hsin of Taiwan (China), James Duckworth of Australia, and Sebastian Ofner of Austria, all of whom took part in the Australian Open 2023.
The Tay Ninh native is currently ranked 246th in the globe, meaning he can enter the Indian tournaments without playing in any qualifiers.
If Nam makes a good performance in the upcoming tournaments, then he will have the opportunity to break into the top 200 of the ATP rankings, thereby getting closer to his goal of participating in the Roland Garros qualifiers on September 5.
