Bhambri and Olivetti Clinch ATP Swiss Open Doubles Title

Indian tennis star Yuki Bhambri and his French partner Albano Olivetti have triumphed at the ATP Swiss Open, capturing the men's doubles title in a thrilling encounter. The duo overcame the challenge of French pair Fabrice Martin and Ugo Humber in a hard-fought match that lasted an hour and six minutes.

Bhambri and Olivetti, seeded third in the ATP 250 clay court tournament, faced a stern test in the final against the unseeded Martin-Humbert duo. After dropping the first set 3-6, they displayed remarkable resilience to level the match and force a tie-break. In the decisive set, they showcased their composure and skill to emerge victorious with a 10-6 scoreline.

This triumph marks Bhambri's third ATP title, all of which have come in the 250 series. It is also the second title for the Bhambri-Olivetti partnership, following their victory at the Bavarian Championships earlier this year.

Bhambri's success at the Swiss Open is a testament to his consistent performance on the doubles circuit. He had previously won his maiden ATP title at the 2023 Mallorca Championships with Lloyd Harris. His impressive run has propelled him into the top 50 of the doubles rankings, and this latest victory is expected to further enhance his position.

The Indo-French pair had maintained an unblemished record in the tournament prior to the final, not dropping a single set. However, they faced a formidable challenge in Martin-Humbert, who had upset the top-seeded pair of Jamie Murray and Adam Pavlasek in the quarter-final.

Despite the setback in the first set, Bhambri and Olivetti remained composed and executed their game plan effectively. Their ability to adapt and respond to the challenges posed by their opponents was crucial to their eventual triumph.

Earlier this month, the duo had suffered a second-round exit at the Wimbledon Championships, losing to German pair Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in three sets. However, they have bounced back strongly with this victory, demonstrating their determination and resilience.
