KSLTA World Tennis Tour Junior: Karnataka's young tennis players produced a spirited performance on an action-packed opening day of the KSLTA World Tennis Tour Junior J30 Bengaluru, with several home players making their mark in the main draw and qualifying rounds at the SM Krishna Tennis Stadium here on Monday.

Third seed Disha Kumar battled her way into the Round of 16 after a gruelling three-set contest against Sidhhi Pandey, prevailing 6-1, 6-7(3), 7-5. Fifth seed Aahida Singh also progressed, recovering from an early setback to register an impressive 6-3, 6-0 victory over Shazfa Wania SK.

Aahida's win was among the standout performances by the Karnataka contingent. The 15-year-old found herself trailing 0-2 after dropping her opening two service games but responded strongly to take control of the contest. She won six of the next seven games to claim the opening set 6-3 before racing through the second set without conceding a game.
