Positioned in adjacent sections of the top half of the draw on the outdoor hard courts of the Magic Hotel Skanes Family complex, both Indian contenders are now 1 win away from setting up an all-Indian Saturday semifinal. For Rajeshwaran Revathi, Thursday’s victory extended her professional singles winning streak to 9 consecutive matches across Nigeria and Tunisia, while Adkar secured back-to-back W35 Monastir quarterfinal appearances after finishing as the singles runner-up at the same venue last Sunday.

Returning to Center Court less than 24 hours after stunning top-200 top seed Anastasia Gasanova (RUS, 196) 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a 2-hour, 48-minute marathon on Wednesday, 17-year-old qualifier Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi (IND, 726) showed zero signs of fatigue against 26-year-old Dutch player Demi Tran (NED, 636). After exchanging early breaks to trail 1-2 and 2-3 in the opening set, the teenager from Tamil Nadu took complete command of the baseline exchanges, breaking Tran in the 7th and 9th games as part of a 4-game run to claim the 36-minute 1st set 6-3.

Rajeshwaran Revathi was even more ruthless in the 27-minute 2nd set, sweeping all 6 games with 3 additional breaks of serve to seal a 6-3, 6-0 victory in 63 minutes. Across the match, she did not face a single break point across her final 6 service games, won 69% (25/36) of her total service points (including 72%, 18/25 on 1st serve), captured 62% (33/53) of all return points, converted 6 of 13 break points, and outscored Tran by 58 points to 31 (65%). The win stretches her unbeaten pro run to 9 straight matches following her maiden professional singles title at the W35 Lagos tournament earlier this month.

Simultaneously on Court 2, 3rd seed Vaishnavi Adkar (IND, 365) was pushed to the limit by 18-year-old Turkish contender Ada Kumru (TUR, 1019). After Kumru converted 3 of 7 break-point opportunities to take the 48-minute opening set 6-3, the 21-year-old from Pune responded immediately in Set 2: she broke to love in the opening game and then survived a 17-point, 6-deuce 2nd game—saving 3 break points to hold for 2-0—before breaking again in the 7th game to level the match at 6-2 in 47 minutes.

In the 61-minute deciding set, Adkar surged ahead 3-0 with a double break, only for Kumru to reel off 3 straight games to draw level at 3-3. Refusing to yield momentum, Adkar broke back immediately in a deuce 7th game for 4-3 and then produced the defining hold of the afternoon in game 8: trailing 0-40 on serve, she saved 3 consecutive break points to hold for 5-3 before serving out the match to love at 5-4. Overall, Adkar saved 15 of the 20 break points she faced (75%), converted 6 of 12 break chances (50%), and finished with a 94-89 advantage across 183 points contested. Following the 2-hour, 36-minute singles battle, 2nd seeds Adkar (IND, 302) and Demi Tran (NED, 297) withdrew prior to their Thursday evening doubles quarterfinal against Abigeyle Bhopal (CAN, 1659) and Nour Sahnoun (TUN, 1487) to focus on Friday’s singles last 8.

Both Indian quarterfinals on Friday pit them against seeded European opponents who have yet to drop a set this week in Monastir. In the top quarter of the draw, Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi (IND, 726) takes on 26-year-old French 8th seed Tiphanie Lemaitre (FRA, 463), a former world No. 227 who has dropped just 2 games across 4 sets this week—defeating Spain’s Isabel Barrera Aguirre (ESP, 845) 6-2, 6-0 in Wednesday’s opening round before handing Latvia’s Sabine Rutlauka (LAT, 932) a 6-0, 6-0 double bagel in 59 minutes on Thursday.

In the 2nd quarter of the draw, 3rd seed Vaishnavi Adkar (IND, 365) squares off against 25-year-old Serbian 5th seed Elena Milovanovic (SRB, 422), who edged Poland’s Anna Paszun 7-6(5), 6-4 in the Round of 32 before routing Tunisian wildcard Nour Sahnoun 6-1, 6-0 in 57 minutes in Thursday’s Round of 16. Should both Rajeshwaran Revathi and Adkar prevail on Friday, they will meet in an all-Indian semifinal on Saturday for a place in Sunday’s championship match.
