Iran’s Farzami, Safi Score Opening-Round Wins at Asian Games Tennis

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran opened its women’s tennis campaign at the Asian Games with two victories as Mandegar Farzami and Meshkatolzahra Safi both advanced to the next round with straight-set wins over opponents from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.

Farzami opened her campaign with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Uzbekistan’s Sevil Yuldashova.

After edging a closely contested first set, Farzami tightened her grip on the match and closed out the second set 6-3 to book her place in the next round.

Safi also produced a commanding performance, dispatching Tajikistan’s Shakhzoda Asimova 6-0, 6-1.

The Iranian dropped just one game throughout the match, taking the opening set without surrendering a game before completing a dominant straight-set victory.

Safi has previously made history as the first Iranian woman to win a Grand Slam match, while the ITF lists her career-high singles ranking as No. 1360.

Meanwhile, Rahmani and Yazdani suffered a 6-4, 6-4 defeat to China’s Fumin Jiang and Tianhui Zhang in the men’s doubles first round.

The Iranian pair stayed level with their Chinese opponents at 4-4 in the opening set, but Jiang and Zhang won the final two games to take the set 6-4.

Rahmani and Yazdani then made a fast start in the second set, moving 2-1 ahead, but the Chinese duo turned the momentum around and built a 5-3 lead.

Iran pulled one game back to narrow the gap to 5-4, but Jiang and Zhang held their nerve in the following game to seal another 6-4 set and complete the straight-set win.
