The 17-year-old had entered the main draw as a qualifier, thus winning eight matches on the trot in as many days.
Interestingly, he had played his first ever Men’s Future event in Monastir back in June 2022, the year when he turned Pro.
This was his fourth straight M15 tournament where he qualified for the main draw.
He had given a glimpse of his talent at the Tata Open Maharashtra in 2023 when he was given a wild card by MSLTA as a 15-year-old.
Dhamne had lost that match against American Michael Mmoh in straight sets but showed grit and composure.
