Re: Thai Hero Srichaphan To Return
Men's Doubles 1st round:
M Kohlmann (GER) / A Peya (AUT) d
[WC] P Srichaphan (THA) / D Udomchoke (THA) 26 61 10-6
缺席ATP網壇長達兩年半的Srichanphan在家鄉雙打賽復出,
可惜以接近比分輸了。
泰國象表示要等兩個月後醫生檢示他手勢後手腕的傷勢才能決定復出計劃。
他仍然希望能在單打復出,但現在狀態仍未足以應付單打比賽,也不會給自己定時間表,
目標是希望在明年一月印度的清奈比賽復出,
但他亦直言現在有了家庭,因此不想太頻繁出國比賽了...
The 30-year-old Paradorn said that the brief exposure whetted his appetite
for competition - but a final decision on when to resume his stalled career
cannot be made for another two months when doctors assess his wrist nine
months after surgery.
"I hit the ball OK, of course there is still a lot of work to go. I want to
return to the ATP, I think I still have the ability," said the winner of five
titles and formerly the point man for the entire Asian game.
"I have to look after my wrist, I can't make a strict timetable. But I hope
to play from January, maybe in Chennai, India."
Paradorn last competed in March, 2007, in California, before jacking in the
game for his first wrist operation. He since had a second and is making a
slow recovery.
In the interim, he has married a former beauty queen, raced motorcycles - he
took a spill on two wheels which didn't help his wrist problems - and has
opened an Italian restaurant in the heart of one of the world's famed Asian
food capitals.
Paradorn says the dream of resuming his career remains alive.
"I would have loved to have come back in singles," he admitted. "But I knew
physically I was not ready. I have only been able to train with the racket
for the past two weeks.
"I need to train for more days from now on, but I don't want to do a lot of
travelling. I have a wife now and tennis is not everything. At the end of the
year I should know a lot more about my future."
