Davis (Tennis) Cup now at Thanyapura

[simon43]

Due to the disturbances in BKK, the Davis Cup tournament (Thailand vs Hong Kong) has been moved down to Thanyapura Sports Centre, Thalang, with free entry (AFAIK) to spectators.

I was down there today because my step-daughter and class were 'ordered' by their teacher to go to watch the matches, otherwise they would be given a 'zero' mark (not sure for what subject).

The matches are also on tomorrow (Sunday 16th) - nice way to pass the afternoon.

Thailand leads Hong Kong 2-1 after Pruchya Isarow and Nuttanon Kadchapanan defeat Phillip King and Chun Hun Wong 64 62 62

Thailand and Hong Kong are tied at 1-1 after Day 1. King (HKG) d. Sornbutnark 62 76(2) 63 and Trongcharoenchaikul (THA) d. Kolev 64 75 75

I'm not sure the rankings are too important - how many nations in the world have 3 highly ranked players (I'm guessing zero)?

A chance to watch a Thai national sports team beat one of their rivals - what's not to like?

You're probably right - although the website you link to says that the first match starts at 10AM? Doesn't matter too much if you're just going for a bit of fun and to soak up the atmosphere though.

14 Feb Friday 10:00-16:00 2 Singles Matches
