The 32-year-old Bhambri clinched his second doubles title this season with Olivetti and overall third of his career. He won his maiden ATP title at the 2023 Mallorca Championships with Lloyd Harris. He won his second title at the BMW Open in April this year with Olivetti.

“We didn’t even know if we would have the chance to play today, but the weather was on our side to play the final,” Olivetti told atptour.com. “We tried to keep focused since we got up. The match didn’t start very well for us. They had a good start. They played well and somehow we turned it around. We had a really good level in the second and the Match Tie-break, so I think it is a good win for us. Hopefully we can use it to continue like this.”

Bhambri added, “I think they came out strong. They played really well, served really well, so our main focus was to hang in there and wait for an opportunity. We knew if the scores were close, we might get an opportunity, because it’s not the easiest to close out matches here. So that’s what we did. We served better, started returning better in the second set, and found a way in the end.”

Bhambri and Olivetti are 24th in the race for year-end ATP Finals where the Top 8 pairs of the season will compete in Turin. They are the top-seeded pair for next week’s ATP 250 event in Umag, Croatia.
