The Thai badminton has just recorded a historic milestone when Kunlavut Vitidsarn officially rises to the world's No. 1 singular content, according to the latest ranking of the World Badminton Federation (BWF). This is the first time a Thai male tennis player has achieved the highest position in the world arena.
Born in 2001, Kunlavut is considered a prominent talent from a very young age with a achievement of 3 times in the U19 age championship. However, it was not until recent years that the Thai player has truly stepped out of light at a professional level, especially after the 2023 World Championship championship and a stable achievement series at Super Series.
Kunlavut is famous for the nickname “Than 3 Set”, thanks to its ability to play persistently and often win in long -lasting matches. He is not afraid to fight with top players like Viktor Axelsen, Shi Yuqi or Kodai Naraoka and most are breathtakingly backwards.
It is the spirit of resilient competition, bravery and ability to distribute intelligent physical strength that helped him stay firm and continuously accumulate points in the BWF system.
On the update rankings, Kunlavut is leading with 97,211 points, surpassing the horny names like Antonden Anders (Denmark) and Shi Yuqi (China) to become the world's No. 1 player. This achievement is the pride not only for Kunlavut but also for Thai badminton – which has previously been more prominent in female content.
Thai media simultaneously called this “historic miracle”, while the online community expressed pride and admiration for the young tennis player. The Thai sports minister also sent official congratulations, saying that Kunlavut is an ideal model for a new generation of athletes.
If continuing to maintain class and show bravery in big playgrounds, the 23 -year -old player can completely bring Thai badminton into the new era, where they are not only a potential opponent but a true force of the world.
