Great result for the affable twin brothers from Thailand, Sanchai and Sonchat Ratiwatana. In Memphis men's doubles semi-final they bested the Brazilians Melo and Sa in 3 sets, 3-6, 6-3, 15-13, to make it to their second final of the season. Now Tong and Ton will play the experienced veterans Bhupati and Knowles in the final. This is great news for Thai tennis. Now I hope the Kon Thai will beat the Khaek/Farang duo to win their third ATP title. Last year they won the Bangkok Open.
Choke dee na to Tong and Ton :woohoo: :bounce: :yippee:
Chaiyo Pratet Thai!!!!!

Finally might be able to see a good twins team in the doubles.

Good luck to Sa Melo next time. yesterday wasn't their day :hug:

Sure

Melo wrote in his blog that the Thais had their merits by saving all the match points, he said that both teams played great tennis. It just wasn't their day :shrug:

 

[DhammaTiger]

That is very nice of Melo to say that in his blog. It's very true that it shows great spirit and fortitude in saving match points, despite what some posters on mtf believe not everytime losing a match is due to choking. I wish better luck next time to Sa and Melo.

 

[Caio_Brasil]

But it was Melo who wrote, not Sá :lol: :wavey:

I am very sorry for my mistake. Now I am postin through my mobile and it's difficult to edit. Once I get on my pc I will correct it. I am really stupid for not being mindful while posting. Thank you so much for correcting me.

 

[Caio_Brasil]

No problem mate :hug:

good luck to the twins in the final :yeah:

So they're trying to win their 3rd title overall kub.

Khop Khun Mak Mak krap. I was not aware that they won Channai thank you for correcting my information. Being away from Thailand it's hard to keep up with news of Thai tennis but now I found www.jirobkk.com it's easy for me to know the results.

Very surprising. They aren't really all that good :shrug:

Yep. Maybe the Brazilian team was in a hurry to train more... Wimbledon celebrations! :drool:

I don't know how to explain their wins lately. They must have improved a lot during the last 6 months, or they are paying their opponents.

If they aren't "really that good" then the rest of the doubles field must be crap. Or is it because they are not farang that you said that?

 

[DhammaTiger]

I would say that your first explanation is the right one. Players do improve, or is it because they are Asian it surprises you?

I mean they couldn't even dominate on challenger level before they won Bangkok. So something must have changed and I'm very surprised about it. I even felt sorry for them when I saw them last year, because I thought they would never earn much money with tennis.
