Srishti's Efforts Go In Vain At World Tennis U-14 Junior Team Finals
Junior Olivia Serena Conticello: Karnataka's Srishti Kiran continued her impressive run at the 2026 World Tennis Under-14 Junior Team Finals, winning her second successive singles match, but India suffered another narrow 1-2 defeat, this time against Italy, in the Group 4 Round Robin stage in Prostejov, Czechia.
Representing India alongside fellow Karnataka player Padmapriya Ramesh Kumar, Srishti once again rose to the occasion after India fell behind in the opening singles. Padmapriya fought hard before going down 4-6, 4-6 to Giulia Luchetti, leaving India trailing 0-1.
Srishti responded in emphatic fashion, producing a commanding display to outclass Italy’s No.1 Junior Olivia Serena Conticello 6-0, 6-3 and draw India level at 1-1.
