Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi (born 12 June 2009)[1] is an Indian tennis player.[2] She trains at the Rafa Nadal Academy.[3]

Early life

Maaya was born on 12 June 2009 to parents Revathi and Rajeshwaran in Coimbatore. She began playing tennis when she was 8 years old and decided to go pro when she was 10 because she loved to compete and enjoyed competing under pressure. Revathi started ITFs at 13 years of age, winning a couple and becoming a top 60 junior player.[4] Her talent was spotted by the Rafa Nadal Academy and she got the call up invite through an email.[5]

Career

At the WTA 125 Mumbai Open, she entered as a qualifying wild card.[6] She defeated Iryna Shymanovich, Zarina Diyas, and Mei Yamaguchi to reach the semifinals. She lost to fifth seed Jil Teichmann marking the end of her run.[7] Revathi is the first player born in 2009 to make this stage of a main draw at this level.[8]
