Delhi Open: Ramkumar, Sasikumar Kick-off Singles Campaign After Qualifying Round
Sai Karteek Reddy Ganta: India’s Niki Kaliyanda Poonacha and Zimbabwe’s Courtney John Lock have entered the 2025 Delhi Open doubles main draw as the No. 2 seeds, aiming to add to their Challenger title count. The ATP Challenger 75 event, returning for its fifth edition at the DLTA Complex from February 10-16, will feature 16 teams competing for the trophy and 75 ATP points.
India’s Ramkumar Ramanathan and Karan Singh, fresh off a Davis Cup win over Togo, have received a wild card entry to the doubles tournament. Ramkumar, a 2025 Chennai Open finalist, will look to build on his form alongside Singh. Another all-Indian duo, SD Prajwal Dev and Sai Karteek Reddy Ganta, also enter as wild cards, joining Siddhant Banthia and Parikshit Somani in the draw.
Poonacha, a two-time Challenger doubles champion, and Lock, who owns one Challenger and 19 ITF titles with his brother Benjamin, will be among the favourites. They are part of a field led by top-seeded Australians, former Australian Open boys’ doubles winner Blake Ellis and Tristan Schoolkate.
