At $10K ITF Women's Tournament, Hyderabad

Singles Final
(3) Ankita RAINA (IND) l Barbara LUZ (POR) 62 36 16

Barbara Luz must be over the moon for selecting India for these 2 ITF tournaments ... Overall creditable performance by Ankita in these 2 weeks.

In this match Ankita started aggressively and won the first set ... But from the second set Luz used moon-balling tactics and Ankita failed to overcome these tactics to lose next two sets.
