Mumbai Open WTA 125K Tennis: Shrivalli Goes Down Fighting; Seeds Rodionova, Pigossi Bow Out Too
Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association: The dream run of Shrivalli Bhadimipatty this week came to an end on Wednesday evening but not before the 22-year-old Indian put on a tremendous fight against 16-year-old Alina Korneeva, ranked more than 380 spots above her, at the Mumbai Open WTA 125K Series Tennis Championships, here on Wednesday.
Korneeva, the top-ranked junior last year and winner of two junior Grand Slams in 2023, bounced back from the loss of the first set to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 25 minutes to advance to the quarterfinals of the event being organised by the Maharashtra State Lawn Tennis Association (MSLTA) and the Cricket Club of India (CCI).
Earlier in the day, fourth seed Arina Rodionova and fifth seed Laura Pigossi bowed out of the singles event. Rodionova was defeated in straight sets by Dutchwoman Arianna Hartono 4-6, 4-6 while Pigossi was knocked out by Australia’s Storm Hunter 3-6, 3-6.
