India’s Yuki Bhambri entered his maiden ATP Masters 1000 semi-final as he and his Swedish partner Andre Goransson defeated Alexander Erler and Andrea Vavassori in straight sets in Indian Wells here.
The 33-year-old Indian had previously reached the doubles quarter-finals at the Masters 1000 level twice, including at Indian Wells last year.
Bhambri and Goransson defeated the Austrian-Italian pair 6-3, 7-6 in the quarter-finals that lasted over one hour 30 minutes.
The Indo-Swedish duo dominated on their first serve, winning 83 per cent of the points (29/35), which proved crucial in taking the second-set tie-break and closing out the match.
They will take on France’s Arthur Rinderknech and Monaco’s Valentin Vacherot in the semi-finals on Friday.
Rinderknech and Vacherot defeated the Russian duo of Andrey Rublev and Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4 in their quarter-final.
