All India Ranking Championship Series: Adani Sportsline Academy’s rising tennis talent, Harsha Deshpande, claimed her maiden Under-14 Girls Singles crown at the All India Ranking Championship Series (7) Tennis Tournament, held in Jaipur last week.

The 12-year-old, a student of Apollo International School, showcased remarkable consistency across the tournament. After a first-round bye, Harsha eased past Rajasthan’s Tejasvi Yadav (6-2, 6-1) in the pre-quarterfinals and Gujarat’s Zia Thakker (6-2, 6-3) in the quarterfinals. She then battled through a tense semifinal against Rajasthan’s Khushvee Padiyar (6-0, 4-6, 7-5), before sealing the title with a commanding 6-2, 6-1 victory over Gujarat’s Naysa Solanki in the final.

Harsha, a student of Grade VII, has been training at the Adani Sportsline Tennis Academy since 2024, where she has benefitted from structured coaching, competitive exposure and holistic development.
