WORLD No 316 Luksika Kumkhum of Thailand turned in a near perfect performance to win the singles and doubles titles at US$10,000 Kuching ITF Women’s Circuit event on Sunday.
The 18-year-old top seed overcame a tough first set to beat World No 433 and second seed Nungnadda Wannasuk 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 in an all Thai singles final.
She later partnered Nungnadda to win the doubles title by defeating China’s Lu Jia Xiang-Lu Jia Jing 6-4, 6-3 to claim their second title of year after India.
“I think we played well today and we have been playing well in this championship as both of us are from Bangkok and we train together,” said Nungnadda, who is eyeing for a medal at the upcoming Indonesia Sea Games.
