BWF profile

Sapsiree Taerattanachai (Thai: ทรัพย์สิรี แต้รัตนชัย; RTGS: Sapsiri Tae-rattanachai; born 18 April 1992) is a Thai badminton player. She claimed titles in the mixed doubles with Dechapol Puavaranukroh at the 2017 SEA Games and at the 2021 World Championships.[3][4] Sapsiree and Dechapol made history as the first ever Thai pair to win the year-end Finals tournaments, the World Championships title and rank first in the world ranking.

Sapsiree competed at the 2010, 2014 and 2018 Asian Games; and at the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics. In 2009, she was a semi-finalist in girls' doubles at the World Junior Championships, and the following year, she was runner-up at the Asian Junior Championships.[5] She won gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. In 2014, Sapsiree became the first player ever to become a Grand Prix Gold finalist in all three disciplines.[6] She won the women's doubles title at the 2012 India Open Grand Prix Gold, then the women's singles title at the 2013 U.S. Open Grand Prix Gold, then was runner-up at the 2014 U.S. Open Grand Prix Gold. With her mixed doubles victory at the 2017 Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold, she did one better and became the first player to win Grand Prix Gold titles in all three disciplines.[7]

Sapsiree and Dechapol won the silver medal at the 2019 World Championships,[8] and a gold medal at the 2021 World Championships.[4] The duo made a clean sweep of all three 2020 Asian Leg titles in Thailand,[9][10] and all 2021 Bali leg titles and climbed to world number 1 in BWF ranking on 7 December 2021.[1][11]

Personal life

Her family is considered to be wealthy. Her parents owns a gold shop in Udon Thani city.[12] For the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, her brother bought a large LED billboard in front of their house to live her matches live so that Udon Thani people could cheer her on, along with free water and parking.[13]

She graduated from Chulalongkorn University.[14] Sapsiree is nicknamed "Popor". Her knee injury during the 2017 SEA Games Final was a minor speed bump to her long successful career. She has a made a very strong comeback in 2019 by producing extremely good results.

In addition, she is also close friends with famous actress Pimchanok Luevisadpaibul.[15]
