Reeti Soni dominates Ridvika Patidar 15-2 in Bhopal final
Reeti Soni’s 15-2 win over Ridvika Patidar in Bhopal was a window into India’s growing junior pickleball depth, not just a one-sided final.
Bhopal has started to look like more than a stop on the Indian pickleball calendar. At the Ace Pickleball Club on June 5, Reeti Soni turned the Under-12 Girls Singles final at the ACE PWR 200 into a statement on junior depth, beating Ridvika Patidar 15-2 in an Indian Pickleball Association-sanctioned event.
The scoreline was lopsided, but the way Reeti built it mattered just as much. She controlled the final from the opening exchanges, using sharp placement and steady baseline rallies to keep Ridvika on the back foot throughout. In a junior bracket, that kind of composure usually tells you more than raw pace or power, because it shows a player can repeat quality shot after quality shot under match pressure.
The final also sat inside a much broader tournament, not a one-off showcase. Bhopal.info listed ACE PWR 200 as a June 5-7 event at Ace Pickleball Club, and local coverage has described it as Madhya Pradesh’s third pickleball tournament since March 2026. That matters in a sport still trying to build its middle layer: more tournaments mean more match time, more rankings, and more chances for young players to learn how to win and how to lose in structured settings.
ACE PWR 200 also featured other age-group finals, including the Under-18 Girls Singles title won by Vishnavi Sharma. That wider spread of divisions is the real indicator that the event was doing more than crowning a single champion. It gave Bhopal a full junior slate and gave players across age groups a proper competitive frame, the kind that can turn local promise into something measurable.
That is where the PWR label adds another layer. PWR Global describes PWR as a unified global ranking system, with players earning points through the PWR World Tour toward the PWR World Series. For Reeti, the title was a clean win over Ridvika; for Indian pickleball, it was another data point in a system that is beginning to produce ranked, trackable junior results in places beyond the biggest metropolitan hubs.
