Karman Kaur Thandi too played in Lexington in the womens 60K being played there and had couple of good wins there in the main draw before losing in the QF against current NCAA champion.
Ankita played in a W100 in Poland and lost in a close match in first round.
Rutuja played in W60 in Spain on clay and also won a round there in singles.
There was another good run by Riya Bhatia in a W25 tournament in Brazil on clay. This was one of the weakest field one would get at W25 level where Riya was the 4th seed. But, importantly Riya made it count and justified her seeding to reach singles SF and also made it to the doubles final.
Prajnesh countnued in Gerorgia and this week made it to the singles SF. Still some way to go before he gets back to his best it seems but he is making some progress.
