A test return in doubles at Bangkok has re-assured Paradorn Srichaphan that a comeback to tennis could be just around the corner after two and a half years out with a wrist injury treated by two surgeries.
The 30-year-old Paradorn said that the brief exposure whetted his appetite for competition - but a decision on when to resume his stalled career cannot be made for another two months when doctors
assess his wrist nine months after his last operation.
"I hit the ball OK, of course there is still a lot of work to go. I want to return to the ATP, I think I still have the ability," said the Thai, winner of five titles.
"I have to look after my wrist, I can‘t make a strict timetable. But I hope to play from January, maybe in Chennai, India."
Paradorn last competed in March of 2007 at the Masters Series Miami, before jacking in the game for his first wrist operation.
In the interim, he has married a former beauty queen, raced motorcycles - he took a spill on two wheels which didn't help his wrist problems - and has opened an Italian restaurant in Bangkok.
"I need to train for more days from now on, but I don‘t want to do a lot of traveling," he added. "I have a wife now and tennis is not everything. At the end of the year I should know a lot more about my future."
