Three of the most exciting young players will take part in next month's Thailand Open, organisers said yesterday.

Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov.

They are Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov, Milos Raonic of Canada and Australian Bernard Tomic.

Dimitrov, 21, thrilled the fans here last year, while Raonic, also 21, and 19-year-old Tomic will make their debut in Bangkok.

"This will be my first time playing in Bangkok so it's very exciting for me," said Raonic.

Tomic said: "I'm looking forward to it."

Other players who will feature in the 10th Thailand Open include Serbia's Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki, French stars Richard Gasquet, Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils, Spain's Fernando Verdasco and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, and Finland's Jarkko Nieminen.

"It will be very competitive from the first day with several players capable of winning the title," said Suwat Liptapanlop, president of the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand.

The event will be held at Muang Thong Thani's Impact Arena from Sept 22-30.

Tickets starting from 300 baht are available at Thai Ticket Major outlets. For more information, call 02-262-3838 or go to www.thaiticketmajor.com
