Mumbai Open 125k: Last Season’s Runner-up Mananchaya Sawangkaew Sets Up Final Clash With Lilli Tagger
Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association: The penultimate day of the Mumbai Open WTA 125K Series served tense clashes at the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA).
Last edition’s runner up Mananchaya Sawangkaew and 17-year-old Lilli Tagger registered wins on Saturday, confirming their place in the Singles final. Meanwhile, the duo of Elena Pridankina and Polina Iatcenko also booked their place in the Doubles final.
The first semi-final was a repeat of last edition's quarterfinal between Mananchaya Sawangkaew and Lanlana Tararudee. In a topsy turvy encounter, the former took the lead in the first set before faltering in the second. However, Mananchaya – the last season’s runner up – responded strongly to eventually seal the deal, securing a 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 win in an hour and 53 minutes to book her place in the finals for the second time in as many years.
