Buji lifts his fourth challenger title after successfully defending Delhi challenger title ... Buji beats Yuki in three sets and frankly speaking this performance come out of nowhere ... Before this Buji was struggling on the tour and was losing to anybody ... Here in the first round he got lucky break but afterwards he improved his performance after each round ... In the quarters after losing the first set he take control to beat Sanam ... In the semis he dominated Belgian Kimmer from the start ... In the final he faced Yuki, he was in really good form after his good showing at Australian open ... Yuki started aggressively and broke Buji twice for winning the first set ... After that Buji fought back and he made sure that he retrieved everything ... After that Yuki struggled as Buji made him to play extra shot ... Yuki started to make unforced errors ... Buji won the second set and then in the third it was one-sided affair ... Yuki failed to win a single game and gave match to Buji with his unforced errors ... Yuki need to learn tactic of keeping focus ... Still really good tournament for Yuki as he will be back in top-300 with these 60 ATP points.
