ITF W35 QFs: Indian players Vaishnavi Adkar and Ankita Raina delivered strong performances, advancing to the women’s singles quarterfinals at the ITF W35 Kalaburagi held at Chandrashekhar Patil Stadium on Thursday.
Third seed Vaishnavi Adkar easily defeated Anna Siedysheva with a score of 6-2, 6-0. The match started with both players holding their serves comfortably before Adkar began to put pressure on with precise returns in the sixth game. She created three break points, and after a deuce battle, she eventually broke serve. She then followed it up with a confident service hold to lead 5-2.
She won the first set 6-2 with a sharp overhead smash after a close game. Taking that momentum into the second set, Adkar broke early as Sedysheva started making more errors, while she continued to apply steady pressure on her serve. Although Sedysheva hit some powerful shots, Adkar stayed precise and finished the second set without losing a game.
