Pruchya Wins First Asian Tennis Tour Thailand Title
Play
Pruchya Isarow lifted up his second title in three weeks after he beat young gun Jirat Navasirisomboon 6-1 7-6 (7-1) in the final round of the US$5,000 Grimm ATT Thailand Series at True Arena Hua Hin on Wednesday.
The Kingdom’s ace employed his variety of play and better groundstrokes to dominate the first set comfortably before the teenager started fighting back in the second set.
Jirat, 19, intensified his attack to put Pruchya to the test and fought back from a break down to force the tie-break where the third-seeded relied on his solid game to wrap up the encounter.
Pruchya reached three straight finals, winning his home event in Hat Yai two weeks ago and lost the title match to Kittipong Wachiramanowong of a Singha TATP Series on Sunday. He earned the winner’s prize money of BT46,375 while Jirat took BT35,875.
The second circuit of the Asian Tennis Tour Thailand starts on Friday at the same venue.
