India’s Vijay Sundar Prashanth and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan found a way to prevail over second seeds Julian Cash and Llyod Glasspool in a tough battle in the Hangzhou Open quarterfinals while Yuki Bhambri progressed to the Chengdu Open semifinals with his partner on Saturday.
In Hangzhou, Prashanth and left-handed Nedunchezhiyan lost the opening set but came back strong to emerge 6-7 (4) 7-6 (6) 10-8 winners in an energy-sapping contest that also tested their nerves.
The match lasted two hours. They next face third seeds Ariel Behar and Robert Galloway.
In Chengdu, Bhambri and his third-seeded French partner Albano Olivetti also came back after losing the first set to win 5-7 6-3 12-10 against Gonzalo Escobar and Diego Hidalgo.
They are now up against second seeds Ivan Dodig (Croatia) and Rafael Matos (Brazil).
