"It is a great feeling. This is the second one in the family and I have been looking forward to this moment for a Long time," Yuki, whose sister Sanaa has also won the national title in the past, said.

Vardhan, who had made a very impressive debut at India's Davis Cup tie against Japan, said he had his chances but the better player won today.
