Top-seed Indian team of Yuki Bhambri, Saketh Myneni wins Bangkok Open tennis title


In Tennis, the top-seeded Indian team of Yuki Bhambri and Saketh Myneni came from behind to win the Bangkok Open title, as they beat Christopher Rungkat and Akira Santillan at Nonthaburi, Thailand  today.

Playing their seventh final together, the Indians beat the Indonesian-Australian combo 2-6 7-6, 14-12 in an exciting and close final, that lasted one hour and 50 minutes.

The win on Saturday is likely to give the 28-year-old Yuki his career-high doubles rank of 90 while the big-serving Myneni, 35, should also touch a career-best 74 in the ATP doubles chart.

They will next compete in the Australian Open-the season’s first Grand Slam-where they have been given a wild card entry.
