Yuki had a good week as he along with his French partner Albano Olivetti reached the finals of the Lyon Open, an ATP 250 event, defeating the top seeds in the semi-final and fourth seed in the opening round.

However, the pair narrowly lost to Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara in a thrilling final match, with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-7(5), 8-10.

The duo will now shift their focus to the French Open, the second Grand Slam tournament of the year. Bhambri and Olivetti will open their Roland Garros campaign against the Russian-Australian pair of Roman Safiullin and John Peers on Tuesday.
