For Indian tennis stars as well, it has been a decent year that has shown promise and promise for the future. The Tokyo Olympics were a highlight of the year and India included Sania Mirza, Ankita Raina and Sumit Nagal in the quadrennial multisport extravaganza.

Sumit Nagal made waves when he reached the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 Argentina Open, while the Ankita Raina-Kamilla Rakhimova pair won the Phillip Island Trophy WTA 250 and Sania Mirza-Christina McHale became a finalist in the Cleveland WTA 250 forward Sania Mirza teamed up with China’s Zhang Shuai to win the Ostrava Open WTA 500.
