Vaishnavi Adkar became the first Indian woman since Sania Mirza in 2009 to reach a major International Tennis Federation Women’s singles final. She achieved this milestone at the Bengaluru W100 tournament, part of the ITF Women’s World Tennis Tour, which features higher prize money and strong international competition. Although Adkar finished runner-up after losing to Belgium’s Hanne Vandewinkel, her impressive performance helped her break into the WTA Top 500 rankings for the first time, marking a significant achievement in Indian women’s tennis.
