A New Milestone in Bhambri's Career
This marks a groundbreaking moment for Bhambri, as it is his first time reaching the third round of men's doubles at Wimbledon. He joins a select group of Indian players who have made it to the Round of 16 in all four Grand Slam tournaments. Once the junior world number one, Bhambri has shown remarkable improvement in doubles over the last three years, consistently competing at the Grand Slam level.
Bhambri and Galloway started their match with confidence. In the first set, they faced three break points at 3-3 but managed to take control, winning the set 6-3. The second set proved challenging as they fell behind 2-5, yet they maintained composure, ultimately winning the tiebreak 8-6. The match concluded in 1 hour and 35 minutes on Court 12.
Upcoming Challenge: A Tough Opponent
In the third round, Bhambri and Galloway will face the experienced duo of Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, who are seeded fourth. Both players have previously held the world number one ranking and recently defeated India's N. Sriram Balaji and Mexico's Reyes-Varela in straight sets.
India's Sole Hope in Men's Doubles
With other Indian pairs eliminated from the tournament and Rohan Bopanna not participating this year, Bhambri stands as India's only hope in the men's doubles category. The duo has garnered attention for their consistent performance and Galloway's impressive net play. A victory in the next match would mark Bhambri's best-ever performance at Wimbledon.
