Tennis player Ankita Raina has became only the fifth Indian woman in the Open era to secure a place in the main draw of a Grand Slam.
Nirupama Mankad (1971), Nirupama Vaidyanathan (1998), Sania Mirza and Indian-American Shikha Uberoi (2004) have competed in the Grand Slam main draws for the country.
Ankita is also only the second Indian after Sania, a six-time Grand Slam champion, to compete in the women’s doubles of a tennis major.
