Ankita Raina (born 11 January 1993)[2] is an Indian tennis player. Since 2018, she was India's number one female player in singles and doubles, but in 2024 she was dethroned by Sahaja Yamalapalli in the singles category.
Raina has won one title on the WTA Tour and one WTA 125 tournament (both in doubles), along with 11 singles and 25 doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. In April 2018, she entered the top 200 in the singles rankings for the first time, becoming only the fifth player representing India to achieve this feat.[3][4] Raina has also won gold medals in the women's singles and mixed-doubles events at the 2016 South Asian Games, and a bronze medal in singles at the 2018 Asian Games. Raina is one of only two women representing India who have won a WTA Tour-level title.
Playing for India Billie Jean King Cup team, Raina has a win–loss record of 33–29.[5] She has notable wins over 2011 US Open champion Samantha Stosur,[6] Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki,[7] former world No. 5 Sara Errani, and multiple doubles Grand Slam champion Barbora Strýcová.[8]
