Vaidehee, who also claimed the titles in 2022 and 2024, defeated the 20-year-old 6-4, 7-5 in a closely contested final that spanned two hours and 15 minutes. In 2024, I won against Maya in the final.
I worked hard throughout the week,” Chaudhari said after the win. So, the players that are coming up are playing well, which is a good thing for India,” she said. But, I want to improve my overall game to achieve my dream of playing in a Grand Slam,” she said.
“I feel proud. This is my third title. So, definitely, I’m very happy right now. “I’m seeing a lot of new faces right now. The players are playing very well. I played the quarter-final against Aditi Rawat. She gave a good fight. She hasn’t earmarked any specific area of her game for improvement but cited the need to work on her all-round game. “I have not earmarked any specific area for improvement. Asked specifically whether her focus was on enhancing the return or service game, she responded in a measured manner, saying, “My focus is on both. It is not specific to my service game. But normally, everyone has more confidence in the service game that they would definitely hold. But when it comes to me, I am focused on improving both aspects of my game.”
