Would you believe there is an ATP player with nineteen letters in his name?

Well there is and his name is Wishaya TRONGCHAROENCHAIKUL.

The 22 year old Thai, currently ranked 480, has some decent results this year, including a 57 26 loss to former top 60 Australian Marinko Matosevic and a 57 46 loss to Noah Rubin in October at the Tralagon Challenger round of 16.

Those are decent results that suggest Wishaya TRONGCHAROENCHAIKUL could be on the verge of becoming a top 100 player if he can refine and bolster his game a few notches. With a coach like Cecil Mamiit, a Filipino American who competed in Grand Slams, Wishaya TRONGCHAROENCHAIKUL could soon be on our television sets.

Can you imagine John McEnroe and Brad Gilbert trying to call a TRONGCHAROENCHAIKUL vs Victor Estrella Burgos match?

Wishaya TRONGCHAROENCHAIKUL obviously has a long road ahead of him to become an ATP top 100 player but whether he makes it or not, it’s highly likely that he will hold and will always hold the distinction of having the longest name in tennis or maybe even sports history.
