Maaya is trying to improve his skills at the Rafa Nadal Academy

Learning curve: Maaya looks like it will work in the intensity of part of his game.

At the age of 15, young people are generally at this stage when they still find out what they want to do.

But not Maaya Rajeshwaran. She’s not far from the average teenager and has already won a scholarship of the prestigious Rafa Nadal Academy in Spain, and in Sunday it has become a history by becoming the youngest Indian that won the WTA point when she qualified for the main draw of L&T Mumbai Open.

On Tuesday in a cricket club in India, she gave another perspective on why she was highly rated when it excluded the Belarusian world no. 225 Iryna Shymanovich-Aj 154 in June 2023-6-4, 6-1 to enter the second round.

In the performance of the fulfilled performance Indian definitely broke Shymanovich in the 10th match of the first set and in the second and sixth match of the second before closing the match with each other.

“So far it was good,” Maaya said on Tuesday on Tuesday on her tennis journey. “I have to improve my intensity while playing. At a higher level, although they (opponents) do not play the best on a particular day, they still find a way to win. I can’t afford to be careless. If I abandon my intensity, they will beat me. ”

But her experience at the Rafa Nadal Academy – and the upcoming Stint – should keep her in a good place.

“I am really happy that they took me inside because we were looking for a base in Europe,” she said. “I will officially join this year, but I’ve been training there for the last two to three months. It is a very professional environment for athletes. ”

Maaya, which became the goal of playing three remaining junior Grand Slams and penetrating the Top 10 at the end of the year, said her idol Aryna Sabalenka is the world no. 1
