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. 前世界排名第九的泰國象Srichaphan將在下禮拜的泰國公開賽復出他將與好友Udomchoke 一起搭檔雙打比賽第一輪要對上德澳搭檔 Michael Kohlmann/Alexander Peya 05年Srichaphan/Udomchoke 曾經搭檔過打進八強輸給Hanley-Paes 現年30歲的Srichaphan 在07年Sony Ericsson Open第一輪右手腕退賽輸給Luis Horna就再也沒參賽了而他在去年10月在洛杉磯完成手術 http://tinyurl.com/y9cymtm 那區的籤表 KOHLMANN, Michael GER / PEYA, Alexander AUT (WC)SRICHAPHAN, Paradorn THA / UDOMCHOKE, Danai THA ISNER, John USA / QUERREY, Sam USA (3)KNOWLE, Julian AUT / MELZER, Jurgen AUT -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.132.58.187 ※ 編輯: tim2502 來自: 220.132.58.187 (09/27 11:58)
