In the final, Maaya faced 24-year-old Vaidehi Chaudhari, currently ranked WTA #418. Maaya fought valiantly but eventually lost 3-6, 3-6. Though she fell short in the championship match, Maaya’s performance throughout the tournament left an indelible mark on Indian Tennis fans and experts alike.

Mr. Jignesh Rawal, Vaidehi’s coach, in his post-match remarks, heaped praise on the young star, even comparing her to the global tennis sensation, Coco Gauff. “Maaya is an unbelievable talent,” he said, going on to call her “the Indian Coco Gauff,” a glowing endorsement for the 15-year-old.
