New Delhi, Jan 18 (UNI) India's top tennis player Ankita Raina won her first doubles title in nine months, triumphing in the final of the ITF W50 event with British partner Naiktha Bains, edging past American fourth seeds Jessie Aney and Jessica Failla in the summit clash on Saturday.
Ankita had made a first-round exit in the singles but made up for the disappointment by bagging the doubles title with Naikhta, winning 6-4 3-6 10-8 in one hour and 42 minutes at the DLTA Complex.
Before today's title victory, Ankita last won a doubles trophy at the Kashiwa event in Japan in April 2024 when she partnered Taipei's Chia Yi Tsao.
