Isha Lakhani is the sole Indian survivor at the singles semi-final stage in the US $25,000 NECC-ITF Women's Tennis Tournament at the Deccan Gymkhana courts in Pune on Thursday.

The left-handed Mumbai player, seeded eighth, ousted former national champion and doubles partner Rushmi Chakravarthy 6-1, 6-1 with consummate ease to move into the last four.
