In an impressive display of skill and teamwork, Gurleen Singh and Aahana Punjabi emerged victorious in the Open Women's Doubles category at the Grand Prix Mumbai, held at The Ballard Pier on July 23. The pair showcased their dominance throughout the tournament, finishing with an unbeaten record. Their final match saw them triumph over Priyanka Mehta and Urvi Abhyankar with a score of 11-8, a testament to their exceptional net play and seamless coordination, which proved crucial in the tense concluding moments of the match. This victory not only highlights their prowess but also cements their status as formidable contenders in the sport.

Gurleen and Aahana set the tone for their successful campaign right from the group stage, where they initially faced the same opponents they would later meet in the finals. They secured a convincing 11-6 victory against Priyanka and Urvi, demonstrating their early intent to dominate the competition. Following this, they continued their winning streak with an 11-3 win over Aakanksha Rawat and Rakshu Kartikeya Panchal, solidifying their position as favorites. On the other hand, Priyanka and Urvi managed to recover from their earlier loss by delivering a stunning 11-0 performance against Aakanksha and Rakshu, which earned them a spot in the finals. However, they were unable to replicate that level of performance against the champions, who had clearly prepared well for the decisive match.
