Looks like Ankita will be in Europe for the next few weeks. She and Prarthana are playing a $25K ITF in Italy.

AT $25,000 Santa Margherita Di Pula,ITA

(8) Ankita RAINA (285) vs Kimberley ZIMMERMANN (BEL,399)

Both Ankita and Prarthana are seeded 1 & 2 with their respective partners and have a BYE in R1.

Ankita started with a one-sided loss against lower ranked Belgian player on the clay.

This is definitely one of her worst losses of the year!

Her record this year is 1 win against 8 losses. Overranked?
