Iran tennis player into main draw of Turkey F50 Futures
Iranian tennis player Shahin Khaledan has earned a spot in the main draw of the Turkey F50 Futures International Championship, thanks to commendable performances at the tournament.
On Monday, the 25-year-old Iranian sportsman’s pace and vision was a sight to behold and he played some cracking balls that found targets out of defense. He eventually registered a 6-1 win against Austrian opponent Christoph Lang in the first set.
Khaledan continued to prove the case up against the 23-year-old Austrian competitor as the game kept flowing, clinching the second set by 6 points to 0.
Lang could not close out the game, and a piece of brilliance from the Iranian tennis player finished the final set 6-2.
Earlier in the day, Khaledan subdued a representative from Russia by two straight 6-0 victories.
The Iranian tennis player will face 18-year-old Austrian rival Lenny Hampel in his first match at the main draw of Turkey F50 Futures.
