With the third anniversary of his last appearance on an ATP court approaching next month, there's still no sign of life from Paradorn Srichaphan as his once high-flying career fades further away.
The one-time top Thai, who once ranked inside the Top Ten but is now 30 years old, has not touched a racket seriously since Miami in 2007 and won the last of his five titles in 2004. The wrist injury which forced him from the game looks like it has made his exit permanent with each passing month.
Paradorn made a half-hearted comeback at the Thailand Open last September, teaming up for a doubles loss with former Davis Cup teammate Danai Udomchoke.
It seems that the man still considered one of Asia's top sportsmen is too busy off court. "A lot of things happened," he said. "I got married. I have family now. A lot of stuff to take care of."
Among those current diversions: the launch of a men's herbal supplement line and work on a Thai historical movie. "I'm not going to pressure myself," said Paradorn. "If I'm healthy and I feel great to be back on court, that's what my goal is."
