Paradorn Srichaphan is a superstar in his homeland of Thailand, and he has just decided enough is enough and has retired from mens tennis.
Paradorn suffered a motorcyle accident which kept him from the tour since 2007.
Remaining one of the most beloved players from Thailand to ever play the game, Srichaphan will continue to coach the Thai Davis Cup squad.
World number one Rafael Nadal will be making his debut at the Thailand Open in September. The Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand announced on Thursday that Nadal would also be joined by reigning champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
“I am very pleased to finally be able to come and compete at the PTT Thailand Open. I look forward to playing some great tennis for all the Thai fans,” Nadal said in a press release.
The Thailand Open is set to be held on the 26th September until the 4th of October in the suburbs of Bangkok.
