Nam’s ranking - also Vietnam’s highest world ranking till date - has helped him replace Indonesia’s Christopher Rungkat (No 475) as the best regional athlete.

In the doubles ranking, Nam jumped 80 steps to No 415.

Nam is set to compete in the Thailand F4 tournament, which kicks off on July 31 in Nonthaburi province. He is No 1 seed in the competition. His teammates Nguyen Hoang Thien and Trinh Linh Giang will also play in the singles category.
