India’s No.1 Singles Women Tennis Player

October 31, 2022

Karman Kaur Thandi is now India’s No. 1 Women’s Singles Tennis Player, following her recent triumph at the W60 ITF event in Saguenay, Canada on Sunday. She has replaced Ankita Raina.

This victory is the biggest Singles title win of Karman’s career so far and it has pushed her 91 positions up in the latest Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) rankings to the 217th position. Olympian Ankita is now placed at 297th position after slipping down 13 places.

Rutuja Bhosale, who is down 9 spots to 411, Riya Bhatia, at World No. 490 after slipping down 5 places and Sahaja Yamalapalli, up by 20 spots to World No. 508, are the top five Women’s Singles Players in India.

Karman accomplished her career-best 196 ranking in 2018. The win at Saguenay is Karman’s third Singles title and second this year. She had won a W25 Tournament back in June at Gurugram. Karman won her maiden Singles title in Hong Kong in 2018.

In the final match against Canada’s Katherine Sebov, Karman Kaur bounced back from being a set down to winning the title by 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. Earlier in the tournament, Karman had caused an upset by defeating second seed Robin Anderson (USA) in the first round and Japanese Ena Shibahara, one-half of French Open 2022 mixed double champions in the second round.
