New Delhi, Oct 25:
Yuki Bhambri asserted his superiority over Ti Chen yet again as the top Indian eased into the singles quarter-finals of the Vietnam Open while his compatriot Prajnesh Gunneswaran advanced to the second round in the Ho Chi Minh City Challenger event.
Yuki, now ranked 142, outclassed his opponent from Chinese Taipei 6-3 6-1 in the second round of the USD 50,000 hard court event while Prajnesh dispatched Australia’s Marc Polmans 6-4 6-2 in his opener.
Carrying forward his unbeaten record against Chen, Yuki recorded his fourth straight win over the Taipei player in as many meetings on the Pro Circuit. He first beat him in Shanghai in 2014. Every year since then, Yuki has beaten the 34-year-old at least once in a season. (PTI)
