Saketh started back playing on pro tour after a long time in Doha ITF but had a bad loss in first round.

At M15 Doha, Qatar

[R1] (3) Saketh Myneni (IND,569) l. Chrstina Sigsgaard (DEN,969) 46 46

[PKBasu]

Saketh, who was top seed in doubles with a Finnish partner, lost the doubles final 46 46 to the same guy who beat him in singles (and a Brit partner); the winning pair was seeded fourth.

Good to see Saki get a few matches under his belt albeit in doubles. Hopefully, we will start seeing an uptick in his singles performances in the future.

[PKBasu]

Saketh has definitely revived his doubles career in the past half year, with 2 Challenger doubles titles -- at Bangalore 1 with Ramkumar, and Salinas (Ecuador) with Yuki -- and four Futures doubles titles (3 with Yuki, 1 with Vishnu). Consequently, his doubles ranking has jumped back up to 180.
He had also won a couple of Futures doubles titles in March-April last year (in Indore and New Delhi) but those are not part of his points total any more.

^^^ Saketh has been doing terrific with Yuki this year, and has been in the top-100 of doubles for the last 3 weeks. With the first round win at ATP Seoul with Yuki, he will move up a to career high inside #95... See the scores of the Seoul doubles matches in the Yuki thread.

We should start a thread for Yuki-Saki doubles team... Let me just arbitrarily set one more ATP level win as the criterion for a thread to be started for them

[sameerph]

I was thinking about opening a thread for them but just saw they will be playing on ATP tour only this week as of now and will get back to challengers in Korea for next 3 weeks where few other Indians like Arjun and Mukund will be there. So, we will discuss that Asian challengers or specific Korean challengers thread. So, why to open a thread only for 1 week. But, as you said we may do so if they go deeper this week as a mark of respect.

Duplicating the post for now... Feel free to merge these into the Yuki/Saki thread when it is created...

Yuki/Saki won in straight sets to reach the Semis in their first ATP appearance....

[QF] Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Saketh Myneni (IND) d. (3) Diego Hidalgo (ECU)/ Cristian Rodriguez (COL) 63 64

With this win, Yuki is upto 102 and Saki upto 89 in the live rankings... Give us one more...

[Rajiv]

Wow.. what a fantastic victory, Yuki & Saki are now increasingly looking like worthy successors to the Indian Dbls legacy

[jayakris]

Further results from ATP Seoul and discussions will be in the newly started Yuki-Saki thread

Haven’t see Saketh in action for a while. Anyone know why he’s been off the tour for so long? Thanks.
