India’s Yuki Bhambri, 30, is ecstatic after registering the biggest win of his doubles career, clinching the men’s doubles final of the Mallorca Championships in Spain on Saturday night. Bhambri and his South African partner Lloyd Harris beat Robin Haase and Philipp Oswald 6-3, 6-4 in the ATP 250 final. “I believe winning any tournament on the Tour is important and this is my biggest win on the doubles Tour, so I’m extremely happy,” Bhambri told mid-day after landing in London on Sunday, where he begins his preparation for Wimbledon.  

Giant-killing spree

Bhambri-Harris began the tournament by beating the Austrian pair of Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler. In the quarter-finals, they stunned fourth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos. They followed this up with another upset in the semi-finals, where they upstaged Santiago Gonzalez and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
