NEW DELHI (India): After missing two years due to knee injury, Yuki Bhambri is back with a bang after he beat country’s best players Ramkumar Ramanathan and Prajnesh Gunneswaran to qualify for the Dubai ATP-500 event.
But before going to Dubai, 28-year-old had used the time to play doubles in the $15,000 event in Lucknow with Saketh Myneni and won the title.
“Having good results does make you confident’’, said Yuki, who will compete in two Challengers in Orlando and Tallahassee. “I enjoy playing in the US. I am looking forward to these events as I have not been there for a long time.”
Yuki has been training with Myneni, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and Vijay Sundar Prashanth.
“Good training and practice sessions are important,” he added.
Yuki had competed in all the four Grand Slams in 2018 when he was ranked No.83 in the world, before the knee injury forced him out of action.
“The goal is to stay pain free. And then, hoping to kick off for the whole US hard court swing and the US Open,” said Yuki.
