The 33rd SEA Games will take place from December 9 to 20, 2025. The tennis event will be held from December 9 to 19, 2025 at the National Tennis Development Center, Muang Thong Thani, Nonthaburi province. In total, there will be 7 gold medals awarded in the men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, mixed doubles, men's team and women's team events.
"This time, we are playing at home, so we want to win a gold medal to satisfy the Thai fans. The coaching staff has announced their goal of four gold medals.
This may not be easy, because the opponents in each category are improving, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and possibly Singapore. However, I believe that all Thai athletes, including the coaching staff, will give their all," said Mr. Suchai Pornchaisakudom - President of the Thai Tennis Association (LTAT).
Mr. Suchai also reiterated that he had previously stated that, in order to improve the spirit of tennis players, he would allocate his personal money to reward each athlete in the corresponding category if they won a gold medal at the SEA Games, with a total of 1 million baht (more than 800 million VND).
Meanwhile, Kasidit Samrej, Thailand's No. 2 male singles player and 407th in the world, who has participated in the "Australia Open 2025" Grand Slam, said his goal at this SEA Games is to win the gold medal in the men's singles event because he will compete at home.
His best achievement in the last three appearances was winning the gold medal in the team event. Kasidit thanked the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) for their support, both in terms of training facilities and in terms of including sports science in teaching.
The Thai men's tennis team participating in the 33rd SEA Games will have 5 players: Maximus Parapol Jones, Kasidit Samrej, Pawit Sornlaksup, wishaya Trongcharoenchaikul and Pruchya Isaro.
