Leading the Vietnamese tennis team in the Davis Cup world group II play-off match, Ly Hoang Nam (world rank 554) did not disappoint fans when he defeated South Africa's number 2 tennis player, Philip Henning (world rank 748).

Ly Hoang Nam won the opening match of the Davis Cup play-off group II against South Africa.

Encouraged by a large number of fans, Ly Hoang Nam entered the game strongly, effectively using tricky shots at the end of the court and successfully neutralizing Philip Henning's attacks. Thanks to that, the tennis player from Tay Ninh quickly created a gap of 3/0 and then 5/2. The 23-year-old talent of South African tennis rose strongly at the end of the second set, fighting for each point with Ly Hoang Nam, but his better fighting spirit helped the number 1 tennis player of Vietnam close the first set with a 6/3 victory.

Philip Henning showed his youth and determination in the second set when he created many difficulties for Ly Hoang Nam and pursued fiercely until 4/4. The timely explosion helped Ly Hoang Nam break Philip Henning's very important serve to take the lead 5/4 and "shake" the South African player's spirit. Thanks to that, Hoang Nam easily won the decisive serve and closed the second set with a 6/4 victory.

Philip Henning lost to Ly Hoang Nam

The victory of the main player Ly Hoang Nam over the No. 2 player of the South African team helped the Vietnamese tennis team temporarily take a 1-0 lead in the Davis Cup World Group II play-off. This created a mental advantage for Trinh Linh Giang when facing the No. 1 player of the South African team, Kris Van Wyk (ranked 416 in the world) in the match taking place this afternoon. If Trinh Linh Giang can create a surprise for Kris Van Wyk, the Vietnamese tennis team will have a great chance to win the final against the South African team, officially entering the Davis Cup World Group II.
