Karman Kaur Thandi (Hindi: करमन कौर थांडी; born 16 June 1998) is an Indian tennis player.[1] She started playing tennis at the age of 8.[2] Thandi has a career high Women's Tennis Association 's singles ranking of World No. 196, as of 20 August 2018, and a doubles ranking of No. 293, as of 23 July 2018.[3] She became the 6th Indian woman tennis player to secure a place in the WTA ranking chart.[4] Thandi's career singles W/L record is 116/67.[5]

Thandi has won 3 ITF doubles titles and 1 ITF Singles Title- the maiden singles title in $25,000 Hong Kong tournament on 23 June 2018, and the doubles titles in 2017 in Heraklion, and two in 2015 in Gulbarga. On the junior tour Thandi had a career high ranking of No. 32, achieved in January 2016.[6] Additionally, she also made it to the semifinals in two other tournaments in China.[7]

Thandi has represented India in the Fed Cup in 2017, where she has a singles W/L record of 1-2, and a doubles W/L record of 1-1, and in 2018, with a singles W/L record of 2-2.[8]

She is backed by the Virat Kohli Foundation[9] and by Mahesh Bhupathi.[10]

Thandi is set to participate in the Asian Games 2018, and believes that her losses before the win in Hong Kong have helped her get a richer experience to prepare for the same. She takes inspiration from Maria Sharapova. Along with Divij Sharan, she defeated Filipino pairing of Marian Jane Capadocia and Alberto Jr Lim in their first match in the Games.[11]
