Nudnida, Patcharin set up all Thai semi-final in Hua Hin

Nudnida Luangnam and Patcharin Cheapchandej will set an all Thai semi-final showdown in the US$15,000 Cal-Comp & XYZ Printing ITF Pro Circuit W1 following their wins in contrastive styles at the True Arena Hua Hin on Thursday.

Thirty-year-old Nudnida clawed back from a double break down in the final set to beat India’s Prerna Bhambri 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-4 in a marathon battle that consumed up to two hours and 49 minutes.

Earlier Patcharin, 22, had a much easier time handling Karman Kaur Thandi of India 6-1 6-4 to book her first ever semi-final in an ITF Circuit.

 

Nudnida has never beaten Patcharin in their two previous meets including a second round of an ITF circuit at this venue last year in three sets 2-6 7-6 3-6.

In the doubles semi-finals, Patcharin and Han Sung-hee of South Korea beat Michika Ozeki and Aiko Yoshitomi of Japan 6-3 6-4.

Nudnida and Varunya Wongteanchai beat  Kamonwan Buayam and Margarita Lazareva of Russia 6-4 4-6 11-9.
