I was afraid I will hit the ball to her belly,” said Varatchaya the only Thai in the maindraw at the All England Club this year. “I’m so overwhelmed to reach my first second round in a Major maindraw,” added the 27-year-old from Chiang Rai. The Thai-Turk pair took the first set comfortably and went on to lead 5-3 in the second. But in the end we still took control,” Varatchaya said. They face a tough challenge today against ninth seed Hao-Ching Chan of Taiwan and Monica Niculescu of Romania in the second round at 5.30pm.
