Professional tennis player Leo Vithoontien has trained in Burlington and he is happy with that. That includes Burlington Tennis Center director Randy Scott.

Vithoontien's presence has been a boost to the youth programs at the facility.

The benefit of him being here is that he can talk to the kids, Scott said. It only serves as inspiration for the children.

Vithoontien, a native of Bangkok, Thailand, is a former NCAA Division III national champion.

Scott, who has been director at Burlington Tennis Center for about three years, is originally from Alamance County. But he spent a significant part of his adult life abroad, especially in Thailand.

Scott coached the high school that Vithoontien eventually attended. While Scott moved to another part of the country, his credentials were well known.

I heard about him and when I started getting serious in high school, I contacted him, Vithoontien said. From there we just clicked.

Vithoontien, 24, has Thai and Japanese citizenship and is ranked 830 in the world. That figure has only increased in recent years. He is in his third year with the International Tennis Federation.

Vithoontien played for Carlton College in Minnesota and was the 2021 NCAA Division III champion in singles and doubles (with teammate Xander Zuczek) as a senior. He was 13-0 in a shortened final season and had a 78-9 record in singles. He was the 2019 singles runner-up.

Zuczek is from Rhode Island, so Vithoontien joined him there during the pandemic in the summer of 2020. Scott moved for a few months to train the duo in Rhode Island.

I never really thought about turning pro, Vithoontien said of leaving college. I told myself I would give it at least five years.

After a year of graduate school at Durham University in the United Kingdom, Vithoontien began training in Florida and playing in professional tournaments. He reconnected with Scott last fall. After playing events in Asia and South America earlier this year, he is back in the US

I play three or four tournaments in a row and then I come back here to refocus and train, Vithoontien said.

Scott said it was valuable to have the professional player on site. Often, hell struck some of the more advanced teens at the center.

It helps that he's here, Scott said. This was great for our players here because they were able to have these kinds of experiences.
