It is the highest rank for the Tay Ninh province-born player as well as Viet Nam.

Nam will take part in the junior competition of the French Open, to be held from May 31 to June 6 in Paris.

As he is busy preparing for the second Grand Slam of the year, Nam has been allowed to withdraw from the Southeast Asian Games in Singapore.
