14 years old tall Thai and seventh seed Gornganok Tiraganok was in solid form all week to claim her Grade 4 maiden title at "ITF Jakarta Junior Open 2009", an ITF Grade 4 tournament which was held at Gelora Bung Karno Tennis Complex in Jakarta, Indonesia today (November 22, 2009). Still a rookie, Tiraganok showed the champion quality along with mental toughness combined with strong patience in executing her groundstrokes on clay and all her works paid-off to surprise a second favorite from China, eighth seed Tian Ran. Tiraganok trailed 1-4 as Tian played well with fast pace from the baseline but then the Thai girl kept on striving to take 6-4 in the opening set. She seemed so cool in applying her strategy as she was quickly leading 4-1 but Tian regrouped to made it closer 3-4 and in the end Tiraganok did not waste her time to serve better to close it out 6-3.
Last October, Tiraganok or as she likes to be called Eye won her ITF Grade 5 maiden title at "Vietnam International Junior Championships Becamex Cup 2009" in Binh Duong, Vietnam.
En route to finals Tiraganok battled past qualifier Kathinka Von Deichmann from Liechtenstein in first round, then she cruised past Laura Fiala of Switzerland and she survived a scare but prevailed to win over Japanese Sanae Ota in quarterfinal. She made the biggest upset by defeating a number one favorite from China, fifth seed Zhu Lin in semi-finals. Zhu was the winner at Surabaya Grade 4 last week.
