Rafael Nadal Academy gives red carpet welcome to Coimbatore girl who rocked the tennis world!
Who is this young tennis storm? Although Swiss Jill Deigman won the 2025 L&T Mumbai Open tennis tournament held in Mumbai recently, it was 15-year-old Maya Rajeswaran Revathi from Coimbatore who made the tennis world proud. From local to ESPN, Maya Rajeswaran Revathi is the talk of the town. What could be more… Maya, who is just 15 years old, qualified for the 2025 Mumbai Open tennis tournament by defeating Italy’s Bosa Huerco and America’s Jessica Baila in Qualifiers 1 and 2. She then defeated world number 353 Zarina Dias (Kazakhstan), world number 225 Irina Simonovich (Belarus) and world number 285 May Yamaguchi (Japan) with her powerful serve, threatening returns and aggressive shots. With this, the 15-year-old Maya advanced to the semi-finals of the Mumbai Open. Although Maya lost to Swiss Jill Deigman there, this was just the first chapter in her impressive playing career. Maya has a lot more to achieve. Maya, who first started playing tennis in the evenings after finishing school in Coimbatore when she was 8 years old, took her immense passion for the game in a different direction in life. Maya was initially trained by former Indian tennis player and national number one KG Ramesh. After that, Maya was trained by Manoj Kumar at the Pro Sarva Tennis Academy for the last five years. Although she has competed in many tournaments before, this Mumbai Open gave Maya an opportunity to be seen not only by India but also by the entire tennis world. “Maya will become a bigger achiever than Sania Mirza,” said national tennis champion Vaidehi Choudhary. He said that he was amazed by Maya’s confidence and ability to quickly return the ball to the opponent. The talented Maya is increasing her skills more and more. He said that she is definitely the next superstar of the Indian tennis world. Tennis player Rohan Bopanna has also praised Maya. Although she lost in the semi-finals, Maya received a scholarship to study at the tennis academy in Spain run by 22-time Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal, who is considered a world-class tennis legend.
