Ratchanok makes the history for Thailand

It was another chapter of Thai badminton history after the 19-year-old made much of the impact early this year to win her first ever Super Series in the India Open. Her significant success also included her home victory in the Thailand Open aside from being the first Thai ever to reach the final of the All England, only going down in the showdown.

 

Ratchanok, better known as "Nong May", is now ranked No.3 in the world. She was seeded fourth in the top-flight competition.

 

By landing the world title in the Guangzhou-hosted event, Ratchanok received a great applause from Chinese fans, who thronged into Tianhe Indoor Gymnasium to cheer on their player, Li Xuerui. However, Ratchanok not only stunned the LOndon Olympic champion but also silenced the cheering Chinese fans with her exceptional performance.

 

With the remarkable success, Ratchanok is quite certain of becoming No.2 in the world ranking when the Current World Rankings will be published on a Thursday every week on the BWF website.
