As the match reached its climax, the 30-year-old Indian sealed the victory with a remarkable forehand winner that perfectly placed the ball between the two opposing players, prompting a jubilant celebration as he raised his arms in triumph. Reflecting on their achievement, Bhambri expressed his elation, stating, “It’s an incredible feeling to win a grass court tournament. To win without dropping a single set on grass is an extraordinary feat in doubles. Having a partner who performed exceptionally well in singles certainly made a difference.”

With this win, Bhambri, currently ranked 75th in the world, is set to make a significant climb in the rankings, reaching a career-best position of 58. The victory also serves as a special gift for Bhambri as he approaches his 31st birthday, which falls on Tuesday. Throughout his singles career, Bhambri has faced several setbacks due to injuries, leading him to make a strategic shift to doubles in order to prolong his tenure in professional tennis.

In the doubles circuit, Bhambri has primarily teamed up with fellow Indian player Saketh Myneni. The duo has already secured two Challenger titles this season, triumphing in Nonthaburi and Girona. However, for the Mallorca Championships, Bhambri and Myneni opted not to participate as Myneni sought a break from the grueling schedule. Bhambri revealed that he will be teaming up with his Indian partner for the upcoming Wimbledon Championships, as they aim to continue their successful partnership on the grandest stage of all.

As Yuki Bhambri basks in the glory of his maiden ATP World Tour title, the Indian tennis community eagerly anticipates witnessing more remarkable achievements from this talented athlete in the future. The win in Mallorca serves as a testament to Bhambri’s determination, resilience, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence on the tennis court.
