Some of the most promising prospects in women’s singles will be seen in action in the main draw of the PRINCESS SIRIVANNAVARI Thailand Masters 2023.

A clutch of withdrawals that included home icon Ratchanok Intanon, three-time world champion Carolina Marin, and other Thai notables such as Pornpawee Chochuwong, Busanan Ongbamrungphan and Lalinrat Chaiwan saw the promotion of the prospects from the qualifying rounds and reserves.

They included Uber Cup star Sim Yu Jin, Canada’s Wen Yu Zhang, Talia Ng and Rachel Chan, Indonesia’s Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi, and Thailand’s ‘Pink’ Pitchamon Opatniputh.

Other young stars in the draw are USA’s Lauren Lam, Japan’s Riko Gunji – world junior champion in 2019, and Denmark’s Line Christophersen.

In men’s singles, India Open champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn and second seed Lu Guang Zu withdrew. Their places were taken by Indonesian veteran Tommy Sugiarto and Denmark’s Mads Christophersen respectively.
