Yuki Bhambri gets past Elias Ymer to reach Miami Open main draw

The match lasted for an hour and half and it was a tough competition as both the players didn’t drop serve untill the 11th game. On the first break point opportunity, which came in the favor of the Indian, he made the most of it to create an opening. In the subsequent game, Bhambri held serve and closed out the opening set on the second time of asking.

While the first half was difficult for him, there was a lesser challenge in the second set. He managed to break the Swiss player in two consecutive games to take a lead at 5-1. Although Ymer was able to save two match points, he failed to take a lead over Bhambri and the Indian closed the second set 6-2 to win the set and match. 

Last week, the Indian ace delivered a brilliant performance as he reached the third round of the Indian Wells Open by beating Nicolas Mahut and Lucas Pouille before losing to Sam Querrey in a three-set match in the third round.
