50 Battles and Counting for Super Sapsiree
If anyone had told Sapsiree Taerattanachai that over 75 days, she would play in 50 matches, the likelihood is she would not have believed it.

But that’s exactly the record the 29-year-old has set; from the time she departed for the TotalEnergies BWF Sudirman Cup 2021 in Vantaa, Finland on 22 September until yesterday, the Thai has racked up some serious matchplay time.
Taerattanachai, who competes in women’s and mixed doubles, followed up her time in Finland by competing at the TotalEnergies BWF Thomas & Uber Cup Finals 2020 in Aarhus, Denmark, where she helped Thailand qualify for Uber Cup semifinals.
“This is so crazy,” laughed the shuttler reflecting on her outstanding record. “I think this is the first and last time I will ever play 50 matches in such a short space of time.”
