New Delhi: Junior world number one Yuki Bhambri and Vishnu Vardhan will clash in the final of the USD
10,000 ITF Futures event after winning their respective semifinal matches here today. Last week`s finalist Vardhan, who is in form of his life these days, advanced to the summit clash when Korea`s Young-Jun Kim opted out of contest due to heat stroke and a knee problem. Vishnu was leading 4-2 in the first set when the Korean conceded the semifinal match. Yuki moved to the final without a fuss as he scored a 6-2 6-4 win over Australian K Balakrishnan. Yuki will be looking for his fourth ITF title while Vardhan would try to get his second crown when they will take court tomorrow. Meanwhile, India`s Rupesh Roy and Vivek Shokeen, seeded third, had to be content with the runners-up trophy in the doubles event after losing the final 4-6 6-2 4-10 to unseeded British duo of Tim Bradshaw and Max Jones.
