Only 24 and scheduled to turn 25 years of age this year, Paradorn
Srichaphan has become the 10th World Ranked professional tennis player and
Asia's top ranked professional tennis player, as well as recently winning
an outstanding professional tennis player's award, bringing further prestige
and honor,not only to the Srichaphan family, but also to Thailand. " After
finishing primary and secondary levels at Attavit School. I futhured my
studies at Attavit Commercial School which significantly supported my love
for sports. I stopped studying after graduating with Po Wo Cho 3 (pre-
university) Certificate and joined a number of tennis tournaments. In fact,
I had already started my tennis career during the 1st and 2nd years at
commercial school I knew it would be tough to study at university and be a
professional tennis player. My plan was therefore to try my best as a tennis
professional for a couple of years and if I was not successful. I would
return to University. However, this is the 2nd year of my professional
tennis career, which is looking favorable, so I will continue with this
career. " I started playing tennis when I was 6 years old after watching my
two elder brothers( Thanakorn and Narathorn) playing which inspired me.
Children and sports go along together well, since sports bring fun and new
skills. My Dad also inspired me. At time I wanted to quit, but that was when
I was 14-15, because of the different way of life I had, in comparison to my
friends, who, after school, did as they wished, or went window shopping at
department stores, while I went to a tennis court and practiced every day.
At that age, I liked to be with my friends." " If I lose a match today, I
don't feel so desperate, as I realized sometimes you may win or lose in a
tournament. Sometimes, I Knew I was not responding correctly, but it didn't
allow me time to recover. I always take it as a lesson and try to improve
my game" " I have had a few impressive matches. The most impressive was my
first title in the professional Long island tournament in USA. It
fulfilled my wish to win as a professional player. But I want to go even
further " to win the bigger tournament" a Grand Slam, for example. However,
I know I need to practice more to win a tournament. You need to taken heart.
Whoever performs better, will win that match. " Obstacles, We don't know
what will happen in a tournament-an ankle sprain, weather and time
adjustment. In an overseas tournament. I try to be there sometime in
advance to allow my physical condition to adjust to to local climate. My
Dad takes a longer time than me to adjust himself, because of age. Frequent
trips will help us adjust ourselves better. " My original dream was to
become a world top 50 or 100 tennis player, not top 20 or 10, but people
around me want me to become No.1, or in the top five. I don't have that
immediate ambition, but want to move forward gradually I don't want to
pressure myself unnecessary. My aim today is to maintain my rank in the
top 15 or 20 and if possible, in the top 10 that I became a couple of
times. However, I'll do my best, depending on my physical fitness and
conditions- a key factor Sufficient rest and strong, injury-free muscles
will put me at an advantage over my competition. " In the future, I plan
to venture into eastablishing a tennis sports club about 3-4 year from now.
At the age of 29-30, I may have to let the next generation take over,
depending on my physical fitness. Many other players quit tennis at 26-27,
especially through various body injuries. I don't have pans to be a tennis
coach, not because I don't like tennis, but I've been so much involved in
it for so long, that I would appreciate a break from it. But if I getting
marry and my children become tennis players, I may then become a coach,
as my Dad is today. "Tennis is gaining greater popularity in Thailand,
party because of me. Parents want their children to play tennis after
watching my games, Sports can become our career if we're serious about it.
Parents may want their children to play for physical exercise, or to meet
additional friends and if a child looks promising, parents should continue
to support them."
