Question

When did Tamarine Tanasugarn first play the Pattaya Open? If she was runner-up in 1996, it must have been sometime around the mid-1990s?

Answer 1

Tanasugarn played her first Pattaya Open in 1993, where she lost to Renae Stubbs in the first round. Which means while Tanasugarn was playing here for the first time, the youngest player in this year’s draw (excluding qualifiers), Noppawan Lertcheewakarn, was just two years old.
