Vaishnavi Adkar Credits Bopanna After Breakthrough Run In ITF W35 Kalaburagi
“We spoke about a few things and that made me realise that the move could be the right one for me. Having someone with that level of experience, someone who has been world number one and competed at the highest level for so many years, is really valuable. Getting inputs from him and learning from that experience, along with working with the team at the academy, has been very helpful for me as I look to improve and move forward in my career,” she said.
Adkar also thanked the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) for giving her a wildcard entry at the ITF Women’s Open W100 Bengaluru 2026. There, she became the first Indian woman to reach the final of a W100 or higher-level tournament since Sania Mirza in 2009. This achievement boosted her ranking from No. 690 to a career-high of No. 466, and she is expected to enter the top 400 next week once the points from her victory in Kalaburagi are added.
