Luksika Kumkhum: Player Ranked Outside the Top 100 Who Reached the Second Round of the 2013 #AustralianOpen

It's actually very exciting to find a new Thai player doing well in a grand slam!  This is the first time I've encountered Luksika Kumkhum, currently ranked #201 in the world.  She won her first round match against Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden, currently ranked #39 in the world, 76(7) 64.  However, she lost her second round match today to Jamie Hampton 61 62, currently ranked #63 in the world.

We hope to see more of Luksika in the future, at least during the Asian leg of the WTA tour.  I hope her rankings go high enough for her to go into another grand slam event.
