I suppose Michael Chang doesn't qualify as the highest ranked Asian player because he is from New Jersey whereas Paradorn is actually from the Asian continent??
"He is the highest ranked Asian male player in history" Source? Seems like Michael Chang would invalidate this. 04:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Rm the following: He was born in Khon Kaen, Thailand.
There seems to be some doubt about this: his official site [[1]] says that he was born in Bangkok. I've come across several references to KK as his hometown, but I suspect that may just mean his family's home town. Markalexander100 09:57, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- That sentence was the first ever contents of this article (see the history) :-) But it's likely that you're right - it is popular for the better situated Thai people to give birth in Bangkok (better hospitals), while the hometown might still be in a remote province. andy 11:02, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I believe he was born in Khon Kaen. I remember hearing he came to Bangkok at the age of 6 to pursue his tennis dreams. Here's a link to the article anyway.
- I reworded it, changing it to "from thailand". Keep in mind that many tennis players from the former soviet union qualify as being "born in Asia" and of course you can't say "asian" because of Michael Chang.Ernham 15:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Natalie Glebova
The fact that Paradorn Srichaphan has been dating former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova has already been deleted and added back again, yet the fact that he once dated Tata Young has never been deleted. Why is that? This fact is relevant to the article and not at all gossip, it can be easily cited and verified. In fact, here's two sources: http://www.sportsmediainc.net/tennisweek/index.cfm?func=showarticle&newsid=16758&bannerregion= http://tennis.com/backcourt/general/backcourt.aspx?id=70914 and here's one with a picture of the couple: http://asiansweetheart.blogspot.com/2007/02/paradorn-and-miss-universe-item.html This should NOT be deleted from the article again when there are credible sources cited, and similar facts already on the page(e.g. an entire paragraph on former love Tata Young, but none on current beau).
