Singles Final
(SE) Yuki BHAMBRI (IND,1458) bt (1) Raven KLAASEN (RSA,324) 76(5) 76(5)

Yuki scored huge victory of his small career beating top-325 South African player in 2 tie-breaks in almost 100 minutes match ... In complete match both players were serving hard and gave very few chances to their opponent ... First set went to tie-break without any break of serve ... In tie-break both players exchange mini-break but Yuki won crucial point to captured first set in 52 mins ... In second set Yuki started strongly and Raven was lokking under pressure ... Yuki broke Raven's serve in 4th game to lead 4-1 but after that Yuki lost focus ... Raven take full advantage of Yuki's unforced errors to broke his serve in 7th game ... After that both hold their serve ... In tie-break Yuki was up with early mini-break but he again gifted mini-break to Raven with double fault ... Then on 6-5 Yuki take important point on Raven's serve to won this match.

So this was Yuki's second title in 2 weeks and he showed his last week's performance wasn't fluke ... He won 10 matches on trot importantly without losing a set and played 4 tie-breaks ... These 2 titles win gives him 50 ATP points ... That will push his ranking inside top-700 ... Simplay great work from Yuki.

Impressed with Yuki's game ... He is having very good first serve, which ngive him lot of free points and he also use lot of kick on his second serve ... Having powerful forehand shots as a weapon and reliable backhand shots ... In my view this improvement due to hard work he put at NBTA in last few months, where he got chance of playing with good quality players ... If he continues to improve like this we can see him on challenger level very early than we expect but right now he should concentrate more on futures level and try to dominate that playing on different surfaces ... He is only 16 yrs 10 months old so time is on his side ... So I believe his family members and coaches will take right decision for his career.
