Ho ching wu

Billie Jean King Cup: Vaidehi Chaudhary opened her Billie Jean King Cup 2025 Asia-Oceania Group 1 campaign with a win in straight sets on her first match as India edged out a 2-1 win over Hong Kong on the third day.

Vaidehi won the opening singles match 7-6, 6-1 against Ho Ching Wu. Although it was tightly-contested affair in the first set, as the game went on to a tie-breaker which the Indian won, 10-8, it was smooth sailing ahead in the second set as she enjoyed a dominant win on her first day.

Reflecting on the match, Vaidehi shared, “This feeling of winning in my first match was really nice. The opponent was a little tricky. She was hitting very low balls which were difficult to return especially at the start when I was struggling with the rhythm. But gradually, I just kept going and I took it one point at a time. The first set was difficult for me but the team helped me get through it."
