Play
Sonchat and Sanchai Ratiwatana face a showdown for a place at Wimbledon after they beat Olivier Charroin of Australia and Rameez Junaid 7-6 (7-3) 7-6 (7-4) in the first qualifying round on Monday.
The twins are battling for a seventh consecutive appearance in the main draw at the All England Club. Their best performance at the grass-court major is a third-round appearance in 2010.
The doubles specialists will play Germans Matthias Bachinger and Tobias Kamke for a berth in the championships.
Also on Monday, Danai Udomchoke blew an early break in the second set of his men’s qualifier as Turkey’s Marsel Ilhan ended the Thai No 1’s chances with a 6-3 3-6 6-4 win.
