Three of the world's Top 10 tennis players, Andy Murray, Robin Soderling and Gael Monfils, have confirmed their participation at the PTT Thailand Open 2011 from 24 September.

World No. 4 Murray,  No. 5 Soderling and No. 8-ranked Monfils will compete at the ATP World Tour 250 hard-court tournament, which will be held at Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani from 24 September to 2 October.

"We are looking forward to an amazing tournament at the PTT Thailand Open 2011," said Executive Committee Chairman, Mr. Suwat Lipatapanlop. "We will be announcing more exciting players to compete in the event in the near future. I am confident that this year's tournament will be the biggest and best ever."

Murray, the 2011 Australian Open runner-up, beat Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on his way to the AEGON Championships title in London. The Scot will be making his third appearance in Bangkok and his first since 2006. He has won 17 ATP World Tour titles.

Soderling last appeared at the PTT Thailand Open in 2008. He remains the only player to have beaten Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros in 2009. Soderling is enjoying a great year, having won three ATP World Tour titles at the Brisbane International, the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam and the Open 13 in Marseille.

Monfils is also enjoying his most successful year on the ATP World Tour. The Frenchman  is currently a career-high No. 8 in the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings. Monfils will be making his second tournament appearance after reaching the semi-finals in 2008.
