Delhi Lawn Tennis Association: Unseeded pair Masamichi Imamura and Rio Noguchi claimed the 2025 Delhi Open men's doubles title with a commanding 6-4, 6-3 victory over second seeds Niki Kaliyanda Poonacha and Courtney John Lock at the DLTA Complex here on Saturday. The Japanese duo showcased resilience and precision, breaking their opponents early in both sets to cap off a remarkable run at the ATP Challenger 75 event.

Imamura and Noguchi took control from the outset, securing breaks in the third and fifth games to race to a 4-1 lead. While Poonacha and Lock fought back with a break of their own in game six, closing the gap to 4-3, the Japanese pair held firm to take the first set 6-4. The second set followed a similar pattern, with breaks in the first and fifth games proving decisive. Despite the second seeds’ efforts to force a turnaround, a double fault on match point sealed the title for Imamura and Noguchi.

Kyrian Jacquet prolonged his dream run in the singles event by knocking out top seed Vit Kopriva in straight sets in the semifinals. The unseeded Frenchman, who had eliminated seventh seed Sho Shimabukuro and seasoned players Jay Clarke and Michael Geerts in the earlier rounds, raced off the blocks in the first set, breaking Kopriva in the second and sixth games to establish a 5-1 lead.
