Thai Tennis Star Luksika Tararudee Reaches Career-High World Ranking
Thai tennis player Luksika 'Ruang-Khao' Tararudee has achieved a career-high world ranking of 61, supported by long-term sponsorship from Singha.
According to Khaosod Online, Thai tennis player Luksika 'Ruang-Khao' Tararudee recently met with Puri Bhirombhakdi, CEO of Boon Rawd Brewery, to express gratitude for the company's ongoing support. Luksika has reached a career-high world ranking of 61, marking her as the second-highest-ranked Thai female tennis player in history, following Tamarine Tanasugarn, who previously reached 19th in the world.
Luksika, who began playing at age six, has been part of the Singha team since her youth. Her development was bolstered by the 'Singha Grand Slam Experience' program in 2019, which provided her with exposure to the Australian Open. This experience served as a catalyst for her professional growth. In 2026, she successfully competed in three Grand Slam tournaments, including the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open.
For residents and visitors in Thailand, this achievement highlights the growing success of local athletes on the international stage and the impact of corporate sports development programs. While Luksika’s current ranking is confirmed, it remains to be seen how she will perform in upcoming international tournaments to further improve her standing. Her journey serves as a notable example of the professionalization of Thai tennis.
