Pornpawee Chochuwong (pictured) is making the most of her opportunity. The 23-year-old Thai is playing in the World Tour Finals for the first time but unlike most of the other players in the draw, the Superseries Finals was never an option, as she was only 19 and had only just started playing Superseries events when that era ended. In fact, Chochuwong won her first major tournament less than a year ago, when she beat none other than Carolina Marin to take the Spain Masters Super 300 title.
