Shrivalli Bhamidipaty was in vibrant type as she beat Polina Iatcenko 6-3, 6-4 to make the singles final and later mixed properly with Vaidehi Chaudhari to win the doubles title in the $25,000 ITF ladies’s tennis on the Indore Tennis Club on Saturday.
The 22-year-old Shrivalli fired seven aces and transformed six of 14 break factors to quell the Russian’s problem. Polina, who had overwhelmed Ankita Raina in the quarterfinals, did combat again, breaking serve 4 occasions to keep in the race, however Shrivalli was in a position to step up her sport with fierce floor strokes that brooked little resistance.
In the final, Shrivalli will play second seed Dalila Jakupovic who patiently countered the artful sport of the small-built Mananchaya Sawangaew for a 7-6(4), 6-3 victory. The 32-year-old Dalila, who was ranked a career-best 69 in 2018, had gained a double crown final week in Nagpur.
In the doubles final, Shrivalli and Vaidehi recovered from being down 1-3 to win 6-3, 7-5, against Ya-Hsuan Lee and Sohyun Park. Vaidehi performed her half brilliantly after initially enjoying into the palms of the opponents who had been fairly sharp.
It was the third title as a pair for Shrivalli and Vaidehi.
The outcomes: Semifinals: Shrivalli Bhamidipaty bt Polina Iatcenko 6-3, 6-4; Dalila Jakupovic bt Mananchaya Sawangkaew 7-6(4), 6-3.
Doubles: Final: Shrivalli & Vaidehi Chaudhari bt Ya Hsuan Lee & Sohyun Park 6-3, 7-5.
