JAKARTA - Indonesian women's tennis player Priska Nugroho won the doubles title of the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour W25 Navi Mumbai, India, Saturday, December 24.

Based on the ITF page, Priska, who is paired with Russian tennis player Ekaterina Yashina, won the doubles sector after defeating Indian tennis duo Ankita Empat/Prarthana G Thombare in the final match.

Priksa/Yashina, who are in third place, won in straight sets over the host's mainstay pair who are also the top seeds in the tournament with a score of 6-3, 6-1.

The victory seemed to be the retaliation for the defeat of Priksa/Yashina from terhadap/Thombare in the ITF W25 Solapur tournament, India, last week.

Meanwhile, the title in Navi Mumbai is Priska's eighth collection in the ITF doubles sector so far this year, and eleventh in his career.

Previously, he won five double titles at Monastir, Tunisia, and two others at Gurugram, India.

The double title will also increase Priska's ranking, where the 19-year-old is now ranked 253 in the WTA world. In the single sector he is ranked 391 WTA, being the highest for Indonesian women.

Priska masih berjuang di Napi Mumbai untuk memperpanjang dominannya di sektor tunggal. Dia berhasil melaju ke babak final setelah membuki petennis Finlandia Anastasia Kulikova dengan skor 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-3.

In the final round, which will take place on Sunday, Priska, who is a non-seed, will challenge Russia's Valeria Savinykh.

Last week, Priska won the single ITF W25 Solapur title, India, which was her fifth single title in the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour tournament.
