Open Gurugram W35: Top Indian women's singles players Ankita Raina and Zeel Desai made a winning start in the main draw of the ITF Women’s Open Gurugram 35 and advanced into the pre-quarterfinals of the event being played at The Tennis Project here.

India’s best bet in the event, Ankita Raina on Tuesday took her first step to end her four-year title drought with a clinical 6-2, 6-1 win over compatriot Akanksha Nitture. Joining her in the last 16 was countrymate Zeel Desai, who recovered from an initial hiccup to register a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Vaidhei Chaudhari.
