How’s her shot making? Maaya has really good shot making just hasn’t been able to grind out victories yet. Saw her at the US Open dictate the first set against the 2nd seed Klugman at Armstrong but couldn’t close the deal after that.

Some videos would be available on Asian Tennis website of her earlier matches I think.

This is one which is put on ITD-

At the J100 in New Delhi, the top two seeds were given a terrific fight by two young wildcards:

[R1] 1-Albina Kakenova (KAZ, 207j) d. WC-Vaishnavi Singh (IND, UNR) 75 64
[R1] 2-Diya Ramesh Ramesh (IND, 212j) d. WC-Shreeniti Chowdhury (IND, 1690j) 75 67(2) 64

Shreeniti is 14, Diya is 16. Albina is 17, Vaishnavi is 15.

But most exciting is this 13 year old Indian girl:
[R1] SE-Jensi Dipakbhai Kanabar (IND, 1810j) d. 7-Radmila Rakhmatullina (RUS, 393j) 63 62

Wow, that New Delhi J100 is turning out to be super exciting! Those young wildcards really shook things up—Vaishnavi and Shreeniti put up solid fights against top seeds, and at 14 and 16, that’s seriously impressive.
