Delhi Open: Bhupathi wins first title in 3 years

Mahesh Bhupathi Mahesh Bhupathi, who is making a comeback to competitive tennis after an injury lay-off, won his first title in three years as he combined with Yuki
Bhambri to clinch the Delhi Open while Saketh Myneni reached the singles final, in New Delhi, on Saturday.
Playing high quality tennis, Bhupathi and Bhambri won 6-3, 4-6, 10-5 against defending champions Saketh Myneni and Sanam Singh in the final that was a cut above the usual Challenger level matches.
Myneni could not win the doubles title but earlier in the day he was all class, winning his singles semi-final 6-3, 6-2 against second seed Belgian Kimmer Coppejans.
He now has a chance to win his second Challenger level singles title, having won the first in October 2014 in Indore.
Bhupathi, who has hardly played in the last two years and got busy in conducting International Premier Tennis League apart from nursing a knee injury, last won a title in March 2013, when he pocketed the Dubai ATP event with Michael Llodra.
