New milestone in career
This is a historic feat for Bhambri as he has made it to the third round of men’s doubles at Wimbledon for the first time. With this, he has become one of the few Indian players to make it to the Round of 16 in all four Grand Slams. Bhambri, who was the junior world number 1 once, has greatly improved in doubles over the past three years and now makes it to the Grand Slam level on a regular basis.
Bhambri and Galloway began the match on confident terms. In the first set, he held off three break points at 3-3 and took charge of the game and won the set 6-3. The second set was tough, where he was down 2-5, but kept his cool and came to the tiebreak and won the match by 8-6. This match was over in 1 hour 35 minutes on Court 12.
Next match: Test of toughness
Now in the third round, Bhambri and Galloway are set to take on the seasoned combination of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, seeded fourth. They are both ex-world number 1 and beat India’s N. Sriram Balaji and Mexico’s Reyes-Varela in straight sets in the last round.
India’s sole hope
As other Indian pairs have been knocked out of the tournament and Rohan Bopanna did not play at Wimbledon this year, Bhambri is India’s sole hope in the men’s doubles division. This duo is in the news for his steady performance and Galloway’s great net play. If he secures the next match, it will be Yuki Bhambri’s career-best Wimbledon performance.
