Cramp Holds Weerapat Back from First Title

    The unseeded Thai was getting close to his first ever championship when he was leading South Korean Kwon  Woh-Hee  6-4 3-6 3-1 and 40-0. But he was not destined to it.

     After running to whip a forehand winner for a triple break point at 3-1 on the South Korea serve in the decider, cramp struck his leg. The Thai bended over backward to continue play but when Kwon drew at 3-3, his body suggested it was time to stop.

     "I could not move anymore. I was sad to have to lose a match like this. It was so hot and we played like three hours,'' said Weerapat who will try to lift up his first title in Jakarta next week.
