Indian sports wrap, October 10: Vaidehee Chaudhari wins third Fenesta Open title; Maan Kesharwani claims maiden men’s crown

Indian tennis saw dominant performances at the 31st Fenesta Open National Championship in New Delhi, where top seed Vaidehee Chaudhari secured her third title in four years with a hard-fought 6-4, 7-5 victory over Shruti Ahlawat. The 20-year-old Ahlawat pushed Chaudhari to the limit in a final lasting over two hours, but the defending champion’s experience ultimately prevailed.

Meanwhile, Maan Kesharwani made his mark in the men’s singles, defeating Nitin Sinha 6-0, 6-4 in a commanding display, winning his first Fenesta Open crown after storming to a 6-0 lead in the opening set. The junior categories also delivered surprises, with 16-year-old Ribhav Saroha upsetting fourth seed Om Ramesh Patel in the boys’ U-18 final, while Parthsarthi Mundhe claimed the girls’ U-18 title with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Aahan Aahan.

The tournament’s U-16 and U-14 events are set to begin next week at the same venue, continuing the focus on India’s rising tennis talent.
