Prarthana Thombare Captures First Doubles Title of 2025 at ITF W100 Evansville
Indian tennis player Prarthana Thombare claimed her first Doubles Title of 2025, partnering with Netherlands’ Arianne Hartono to win the Doubles championship at the ITF W100 Evansville.
The second-seeded Indo-Dutch pair dominated the final against Akli and Osuigwe, securing a straight-sets victory 6-3, 6-3. Their path to the title included a solid semifinal win over third seeds Kayla Cross and Alana Smith 6-4, 7-5, demonstrating their ability to handle higher-pressure matches against seeded opposition.
Throughout the tournament, Thombare and Hartono showed consistent form, recording wins over Ye Xin Ma/Himeno Sakatsume (6-4, 6-0) in the first round and surviving a tight three-set quarterfinal against Fiona Crawley and Sara Daavettila (6-1, 2-6, [10-6]).
This marks the fourth doubles final appearance of 2025 for the Thombare-Hartono partnership, with their previous three finals coming up short. The breakthrough title at the W100 level represents a significant achievement for Thombare, providing valuable WTA ranking points and momentum as she continues her professional campaign.
