Indian wins boys' Australian Open title
Indian top seed Yuki Bhambri breezed past Germany's Alexandros-Ferdinandos
Georgoudas to claim the Australian Open boys' singles title on Saturday.
The 16-year-old from New Delhi took just 57 minutes to win 6-3 6-1, breaking
Georgoudas's serve twice in each set, while not being down a break point on his own
serve at any stage of the match.
It continued a good record for Bhambri at Melbourne Park.
His previous best junior grand slam performance came at last year's Australian Open,
when he lost in a semi-final to Australia's Bernard Tomic, who went on to win the
event.
In the boys' doubles final, Francis Casey Alcantara of the Philippines and Taiwan's
Cheng-Peng Hsieh combined to down Russian Mikhal Biryukov and Japan's Yasutaka
Uchiyama 6-4 6-2.
