Teenage Sensation Maaya Rajeshwaran Returns To The 2026 Mumbai Open WTA 125K Series
Maaya had her breakout tournament last season as she defeated several higher-ranked international players right from the qualifiers to the main draw semifinals. She was knocked out by eventual champion Jil Teichmann. In her second entry in Mumbai Open, Maaya will take on Thailand’s fifth-seeded Lanlana Tararudee in the opening round of the Main Draw, as she looks to build on her impressive run at the tournament last year.
Reflecting on her breakthrough campaign at the 2025 edition of the Mumbai Open, Maaya said, “The 2025 Mumbai Open was one of my breakthrough tournaments, and I really enjoyed the challenge of playing in front of the home crowd. 2025 was a good year for me as I travelled extensively, competed in several tournaments, and played many higher-ranked players, which gave me valuable experience. It was also one of the first times I played back-to-back tournaments regularly, which helped me understand workload management better.”
