Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: Karnataka’s 13-year-old tennis prodigy Srishti Kiran has achieved a significant milestone on the international junior circuit by advancing to the semifinals of the ITF J30 Cabarete in the Dominican Republic, which ended with the final on Saturday.

Displaying maturity well beyond her years, Srishti registered a commanding 6-2, 6-4 victory over the Dominican Republic’s Daniela Esther Castillo Macario in the quarterfinals, following her impressive upset of the tournament’s second-seeded Russian, Arina Vansovich, in the pre-quarterfinals. The event was held from October 20 to 25, 2025.

Srishti honed her skills at the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) and is rapidly establishing herself as one of India’s most promising young players. She first came into the spotlight when she remained unbeaten while representing India at the ATF U-12 Girls’ Team Championship finals in August 2023.
