Doubles
[F] (WC) Yuki Bhambri (IND)/ Chieh-Fu Wang (TPE) l (1) Juan Sebastian Cabal (COL)/ Robert Farah (COL) 46 26
In the semi-final Yuki scored big win over WR #88 Jack Sock in well fought three sets after 2 hours and 49 minutes match ... In the first set Yuki missed 5 set points in tie-break before losing it ... In the second set Yuki was early break down, 1-3, but he fought back and broke Sock on in 8th game and made it 4-all ... Yuki had a set point in 10th game but Sock saved it ... Yuki broke Sock in 12th game for winning the second set ... In the final set both players hold their respective service games till 7th game ... Yuki broke Sock in 8th game and then hold his service game comfortably for exciting win ... He needed to play the final after only 90 minutes break.
In the final Yuki lost his serve in 1st game and then both players hold their respective service games and so that single break gave Lu the first set ... In the second set Lu broke Yuki in 3rd game and then again broke Yuki in 9th game for straight sets win in 66 minutes ... Yuki must be tired after his long singles semi-final and didn't recover in 90 minutes ... But with 80 points which he earn from this tournament will help Yuki to re-enter into top-300 ... He was also schedule to play the doubles final after 30 minutes rest
I think Yuki played the double final in respect to his doubles partner and spectators ... As after playing almost 4 hours on the court he played doubles final and frankly result was expected ... Yuki must be drained after playing long singles semi-final and then singles finalthat was reflected in his doubles final ... Still creditable week for Yuki as he reached in the final as an qualifier and also reached the final with his Taiwani partner as wild-crad pair.
