Updated - November 07, 2026 06:51 pm IST - Chennai Vaishnavi Adkar and Rutuja Bhosale of India during the doubles semi-final match action against Weronika Falkowska and Alana Smith at the WTA 250 Chennai Open Tennis Tournament on November 7, 2026. India's Vaishnavi Adkar and Rutuja Bhosale created history by becoming the first all-Indian pair to reach a Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Tour-level doubles final, beating second seeds Weronika Falkowska of Poland and Alana Smith of the USA in a thrilling semifinal at the Chennai Open on Saturday (November 7, 2026).

The Indian duo recovered from a mid-match slump to prevail 6-2 2-6 10-8, keeping their composure in the deciding super tie-break after the Polish-American combination had threatened to snatch the contest away. The achievement is significant for Indian women's tennis, with no all-Indian combination having previously reached a final at the main WTA Tour level. Shikha Uberoi and her sister Neha had reached the finals of the 2005 Sunfeast Open and Guangzhou Open, but Neha represented the USA, making them an Indo-American combination.
