Indian tennis duo Karan Singh and Atharva Sharma claimed the men's doubles title at the ITF Men's World Tennis Tour M15 tournament in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on 1 November 2026, capping a week of disciplined, high-pressure tennis with a straight-sets final victory. The top-seeded Indian pair outclassed opponents from multiple nations across a demanding international draw to lift the title.

A Champions' Run Through the Draw

Seeded first in the doubles draw, Karan and Atharva moved through the tournament — which ran from 26 October to 1 November — with composure and clinical precision. In the quarterfinals, they dismissed Switzerland's Lars Aregger and Austria's Niklas Waldner in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6, showcasing strong net play and tactical control.

The semifinals brought a sterner challenge in the form of third-seeded Turkish pair Melih Anavatan and S. Mert Ozdemir. Karan and Atharva held their nerve in a tightly fought contest, winning 7-6, 6-3 to advance to the final.

Final Victory Over the Second Seeds

In the championship match, the Indian duo faced second-seeded pair Nikita Ianin and Egypt's Karim Ibrahim. Displaying stellar synergy and applying relentless pressure on crucial points, Karan and Atharva sealed a hard-fought 7-6, 6-4 triumph to officially claim the title, according to the Roundglass Tennis Academy (RGTA).

Karan Singh's Landmark 2026 Season

The Sharm El Sheikh triumph marks Karan Singh's 5th title of 2026 on the international professional circuit, and his third title win and fifth final appearance in the last two months alone — a run of form that underlines his rapid rise on the ITF tour. His consistent ability to perform under pressure reflects the elite development environment at Roundglass Tennis Academy, based in Chandigarh.

Notably, this result continues a strong recent record for RGTA athletes on the international stage, reinforcing the academy's growing reputation as a premier developmental hub for Indian professional tennis.

What This Means for Indian Tennis

Both Karan and Atharva are part of a new generation of Indian professional players making their mark at the ITF level. This win adds to a growing body of evidence that Indian tennis, long associated with singles names, is producing competitive doubles specialists capable of winning at the international circuit level. The victory is also a pointer to the rising quality of infrastructure and coaching support available to young Indian professionals. All eyes will now be on the pair's next appearances on the ITF tour as they build toward higher-ranked events.
