The No. 1 Viet Nam tennis player Ly Hoang Nam (ATP 425th) lost to Safiullin (Russia, ATP 295th) with score 0-2 (6/7, 4/6) in the final of Vietnam F5 Futures 2018, then got second place with accumulated 15 points on the chart.
This was a rematch between the two players when they had clashed in the F4. However, Hoang Nam was not too sad, because he accumulated more 15 ATP points. "Today I played better, served balls more effectively, hit more confident, but clearly Safiullin was too good, thus deserved to win", said Hoang Nam.
