Thai Twins Open with Win in Germany
Play
Sonchat and Sanchai Ratiwatana prolonged their winning streaks to 5-0 in eight days as they beat David O’Hare of Ireland and Peng Hsien-Yin of Taiwan 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 10-8 in the first round of the 43,000 euro Koblenz Open in Germany.
The fourth seeded pair who just celebrated their 42nd Challenger in Bangkok on Sunday clawed back from 6-8 down in the super tie-break to win the match in one hour and 40 minutes. They will play their next match with Teymuraz Gabashvili of Russia and Alessandro Motti of Italy.
The twins are playing two weeks in Europe before joining their Davis Cup teammates in the away tie against Kuwait in early February.
