Yuki wins Pune tennis tournament
Pune: Indian tennis player Yuki Bhambri asserted his supremacy as he quelled the challenge of second seeded Evgeny Donskoy to lift the men’s singles title at the $50,000 KPIT MSLTA ATP Challenger here on Saturday.
In the final, top seeded and 23-year-old Yuki registered a 6-2, 7-6(4) win in an hour and 15 minutes against 25-year-old Donskoy of Russia.
Yuki played fluently with a solid serve and volley game in the first set. In the second, he seemed out of sorts losing his serve early, but picked up his game midway and levelled the scores.
The Delhi player held on to his serves and forced a tie-break which he claimed rather easily.
Bhambri received $7200 and 80 world ranking Points which will propel him to around 82-90 in the world next week.
Donskoy who received $4240 and 48 points will also move into the top 100 with his performance here.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
