In Tennis, India’s Vaishnavi Adkar and Rutuja Bhosale will aim to create history when they take on Switzerland’s Naima Karamoko and Simona Waltert in the women’s doubles final of the WTA tournament at SDAT Tennis Stadium, Chennai, this evening.
The Indian pair will become the first all-Indian team to contest a WTA Tour-level doubles final, with the title clash scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. IST.

A victory would mark a significant milestone for Indian women’s tennis, as Adkar and Bhosale look to cap their memorable campaign with a historic WTA doubles crown.
