標題Thai Hero Srichaphan To Return
時間Sun Sep 27 11:57:07 2009
Former ATP World Tour No. 9 Paradorn Srichaphan will make a return to
competitive tennis next week as a wild card entrant into the doubles draw at
the Thailand Open. The Bangkok native will team up with countryman Danai
Udomchoke at the ATP World Tour 250 tennis tournament.
The 30-year-old Srichaphan had been sidelined with a recurring right wrist
injury since March 2007, when he retired against Luis Horna in the Sony
Ericsson Open first round. He underwent surgery in Los Angeles in October
later that year.
In the first round of his comeback, Srichaphan and Udomchoke will face
German-Austrian duo Michael Kohlmann and Alexander Peya. Srichaphan and
Udomchoke also paired together at the 2005 Thailand Open, when they reached
the quarter-finals (l. to Hanley-Paes).
Before being struck down by injury, Srichaphan had enjoyed a glittering
career and peaked at No. 9 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings on 12
May 2005. He contested 11 ATP World Tour finals and won five titles,
beginning with the If Stockholm Open in 2002 (d. Rios). His most recent title
came at the 2004 AEGON International (d. Thomas Johansson), when it was held
in Nottingham.
The right-hander made his Grand Slam breakthrough at 2002 Wimbledon, when he
defeated the then World No. 4 Andre Agassi in the second round. He was
subsequently named the ATP’s Most Improved Player at the end of the season.
His best results were fourth-round efforts at 2003 Wimbledon (l. to Roddick),
the 2003 US Open (l. to Hewitt) and the 2004 Australian Open (l. to Agassi).
Srichaphan is a national hero in his native country and enjoyed strong
performances at the Thailand Open, reaching the semi-finals from 2004-06. The
2002 “Thai of the Year” carried his country’s flag in the opening ceremony
of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and was issued a red diplomatic passport
when he was named Thai cultural ambassador.
