Srichaphan Honoured In Retirement Ceremony
雖然Srichaphan並沒有參加今年的泰國公開賽，
但他還是在替他舉行的退役儀式裡接受表揚。
這位世界排名曾達到第9位的選手，在生涯裡拿下五座單打錦標，
並在2004-2006年的泰國公開賽裡闖進至四強。
他職網生涯最後一役是在去年泰網雙打與同胞Udomchoke搭檔，最後首輪敗北。
Former World No. 9 Paradorn Srichaphan was honoured in a special retirement
ceremony at the PTT Thailand Open on Sunday. The Bangkok native is a national
hero in his native country and enjoyed strong performances at the PTT
Thailand Open, reaching the semi-finals from 2004-2006. He played his last
professional match in a first-round doubles loss (w/ Udomchoke) at the event
last year.
“I’d like to thank all the ATP staff,” said Srichaphan at the ceremony. “
From the very first time I entered the ATP, it was like a second home to me.
It meant that every year when I was travelling on the Tour for eight or nine
months I was able to not miss home too much. Thank you for everything.”
In his 13-year career, Srichaphan won five ATP World Tour titles from 11
finals. A recurring right wrist injury ended the Thai player’s career and he
has since turned his talents to acting, starring as an action superstar in
the Thai film, “Bang Rajan II”.
