Yuki Bhambri’s good run at the Taipei ATP Challenger event ended with a close semifinal defeat against Australian second seed Sam Groth, here today.
The unseeded Indian fought his heart out before losing the match 4—6 5—7 in 67 minutes to world number 85.
Yuki managed to break his higher-ranked rival in the opening set but lost his serve twice, while in the second set he did not get any chance to break the Australian.
Nevertheless, it was a rewarding effort for Yuki as he gained 35 points and is set to break into top-200 again. He also pocketed $3,765 as prize money.
“I worked hard and made changes to my game and it’s paying off. I have always said that I just need to be injury free and just need to play consistently and as long as I am playing, result will take off itself,” Yuki said.
“To reach the highest level, I will have to work harder, maybe hire a travelling coach too but fir right now my main aim goal is to play whole season,” the 22-year-old added.
