Mumbai Open: Maaya, Ankita, Shrivalli advance to second round

Mumbai WTA Ankita Raina Shrivalli Bhamidipaty Cricket Club of India India Vaishnavi Adkar Yuriko Miyazaki Belarus Cricket

MUMBAI: It didn't seem like Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi had done much wrong. She had just completed a 6-4, 6-1 over Belarusian Iryna Shymanovich, finishing the match exactly how she had started it, with an ace.

And yet, the promising teenager wasn't totally pleased with her performance while reflecting on it later. “Well, one thing is that I think I played my qualifying rounds better than today. So one thing that I'm happy about is that I managed to win even though I didn't play my best today,” Maaya would say.
