Sports Achievements
Congratulations to Punn (Year 6)! 🎾
We are delighted to celebrate another remarkable series of achievements in Punn’s tennis journey, following two outstanding tournament performances over recent weeks.
At the BISA U11 Tennis Tournament, hosted by Bangkok Prep on 23 May 2026, Punn represented Wellington College Bangkok brilliantly and captured the 🏆 U11 Boys Singles Championship against a highly competitive field from leading international schools including Bangkok Patana, King’s College, and Shrewsbury.
Displaying exceptional focus and composure throughout the tournament, Punn secured the title with an impressive run of results:
Round of 16: 4–2
Quarterfinals: 4–0
Semifinals: 4–0
Final: 4–1
Building on this success, Punn also competed in the NextGen Star Thai Tennis Junior Championship 2/2026, where he earned an impressive 🥉 Bronze Medal in a prestigious national tournament. Entering as the tournament’s 7th seed, he demonstrated tremendous resilience and determination throughout the competition.
One of the standout moments came in the Round of 16, where Punn battled through a demanding 2.5-hour match and staged a dramatic comeback from 3–8 down in the deciding Super Tiebreak to win 11–9. He followed this with another courageous performance in the Quarterfinals, overturning a one-set deficit to defeat the 4th seed in extreme heat.
As a result of this outstanding run, Punn’s U12 National Ranking has now risen from 33rd to 29th, reflecting his rapid progress and consistency at national level.
These achievements are a true reflection of Punn’s resilience, discipline, and competitive spirit — we are incredibly proud of his continued growth both on and off the court!
