ITF W25 Bengaluru,W15 Ahemedabad- Nov 20 - Dec 3, 2023

[PKBasu]

Tough match between the doubles partners:

[QF] 3-Rutuja Bhosale (IND) vs. 5-Zhibek Kulambayeva (KAZ) 76(4) 16 30

[sameerph]

Rutuja won her match.


[QF] 3-Rutuja Bhosale (IND) d. 5-Zhibek Kulambayeva (KAZ) 76(4) 16 61

So, 3 Indians make it to SF when only 1 was seeded to make it based on seedings (Rutuja). That is taking advantage of home tournament.

Zeel and Rutuja play in one Semi final and Shrivalli will meet second seeded Thai Lanlana Tararudee in the other SF.

[PKBasu]

The doubles isn't going so well. 3-Vaidehi/Shrivalli lost their SF to Schmidt/Cherubini by the unusual score of 60 06 3-10.
1-Rutuja/Kalambayeva lost the first set of their SF to the 4th seeds 2-6, but that match has now been suspended.

[sameerph]

Big upset win for Shrivalli over the second seed.

[SF] Shrivalli Rashmika Bhamidapatty (IND,706) d. (2) Lanlana Tararudee (THA,235) 62 61

It is Shrivalli's career best win too and it is going to be an all Indian final here as Zeel and Rutuja are currently playing the second SF. Rutuja took the first set 63 but Zeel won the second set 64.

[sameerph]

Great comeback by Zeel from a set down and than a break down in second and third sets to win. In fact Rutuja served for the match at 5-3 and had a match point at ad-in but could not convert.

[SF] Zeel Desai (IND,625) d. (3) Rutuja Bhosale (IND,342) 36 64 75

Next,

[F] Zeel Desai (IND,625) vs. Shrivalli Rashmika Bhamidapatty (IND,706)

[sameerph]

And Shrivalli wins her first ITF title.

[F] Shrivalli Rashmika Bhamidapatty (IND,706) d. Zeel Desai (IND,625) 60 46 63

Both Shrivalli and Zeel had their career best wins this week against top 250 players and both will reach their career highs when these points are updated a week later, both between 515 and 520, with Shrivalli a couple of points ahead.

Bad loss for Vaidehi who has been a bit underwhelming in last month or so. Tanisha got lucky with a walkover to make her first SF at this level. Shrivalli continues her good work from last week, now she has a test against Russian player in SF.

[sameerph]

Shrivalli seems to have got tired after getting 8 wins in 10 days. Tanisha gave a good fight in her first ITF SF.
