Kunlavut Vitidsarn entered the mid -2025 period as the world's No. 1 male tennis player. However, this is also the time when he is constantly being “hunted” by many opponents. That was shown in China expanded, when Kunlavut had difficulties in each match.
In the first round, Kunlavut encountered Alwi Farhan, Indonesia's rising young player. Farhan surprised by overcoming Kunlavut in set 1 with a score of 21-10. The Thai player is forced to win by the difference of 21-15, 21-18 in the remaining 2 sets of the match.
After Alwi Farhan, Leong Jun Hao became the next obstacle to prevent Kunlavut. Malaysian player has played well recently, and he continues to show it in the match against the No. 1 player in the world. Leong Jun Hao only gave in 21-23 in Set 1, then loses quickly 7-21.
2 victories struggling against Alwi Farhan and Leong Jun Hao showed that Kunlavut had many obstacles on the journey of the top player in the world rankings. His opponent in the quarterfinals is another existing player who has a relatively good performance recently: Chou Tien Chen.
At the age of 35, Chou Tien Chen shows that he is still one of the players who can maintain his style as young. The representative of Taipei China is still in the Top 10 world, by accumulating and going deep in many major tournaments.
