Thai players go down tamely
Play
Thailand's only two players were eliminated from the women's singles first-round qualifying match of the US Open at Flushing Meadows in New York on Wednesday.
Thai No 1 Luksika Kumkhum and No 4 Varatchaya Wongteanchai were no match for their more experienced opponents as they lost their matches in straight sets.
No 14 Luksika, playing her first match in a month, was defeated by French veteran Stephanie Foretz Gacon 6-4 6-4, while Varatchaya went down to 17th seed Vera Dushieva of Russia 6-3 6-2.
