Thai Twins Practise in Rio
Play
Thailand's doubles tennis players Sonchat and Sanchai Ratiwatana started their training for their first Olympic Games on Wednesday.
The Kingdom's first ever men's tennis doubles team in the Olympics had a practice session with the world top 60 duo from Chile, Julio Parelta and Hans Podlipnik Castillo in the evening amidst overcast sky in Rio de Janeiro.
The twins said the course condition was slow and the ball bounced high. However hard surface is their most favourite, they said.
Sanchai, the younger brother, was surprised there was no shampoo and soap available at the Athlete Village.
"It' strange when they gave free Sumsung mobile phones to all of the athletes but there is not shampoo in the room," he said.
The draw for tennis competition is due on Thursday's night Bangkok time.
