Pruchya Reigns Supreme in Asian Tennis Tour Series
Thai No 1 Pruchya Isarow completed a hat-trick win in the Asian Tennis Tour series after won the final of the US$5,000 Quant Group ATT Thailand M3 at True Arena Hua Hin on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old from Hat Yai was leading top seed and world No 363 Vishnu Vardhan of India 4-2 before the latter retired with headache during their final showdown.
“I knew he had some problem before the match. So I went to the court quite confident I had the match in my hand,” said Pruchya who has won three opening series of the Asian Tennis Tour.
The Kingdom’s ace has won five out of the last six tournaments he has entered. He won a TATP Tour in Bangkok, a title in Surat Thai Open, and finished runner-up in another TATP in Bangkok ahead of the Asian Tour domination.
“I have been playing six weeks in a row but still feel physically OK. I have to give credits to my parents for taking a good care of my fitness and training which explains why I’m quite fit,” said Pruchya who gave all BT106,725 prize money from the three Asian Tour titles to his parents.
A player with the best results from the six Asian Tennis Tour series will earn a maindraw wildcard into an ATP Challenger Tour at the True Arena in November. The fourth circuit will start in October.
The Women’s Asian Tennis Tour will start on June 20 at this same venue. Player with the best results from all six circuits will receive a wildcard into a WTA 125K Series in November.
