Ankita Raina wins ITF doubles title in Dubai

India’s Ankita Raina won her 3rd doubles title of 2020 on Saturday at Al Habtoor challenge alongside Ekaterine Gorgodze.

The unseeded Indo-Georgian pair won 6-4 3-6 10-6 against Aliona Bolsova Zadoinov from Spain and Slovakian Kaja Juvan in the final of the USD 100,000 hard court event on Saturday.

This is the biggest title of this year for Raina.

Raina, on her interview to PTI, said that she feels good that she is able to travel and train after a long time.

“It’s really good that I am able to travel again. I was doing a bit of training, both physical and mental at home and it was different coming back to tour. Europe had already opened up and their players already had two months of match sharpness behind them.

“Most of the matches were on clay at that time and I had never played so many back-to-back clay court matches. It was a good learning curve,” she said.
