Delhi Open ATP Challenger 2025: Jacquet beats Harris in straight sets, clinches second title in a row

The Hindu  

Kyrian Jacquet did it once again in a fortnight. The 23-year-old Frenchman enjoyed the Indian conditions as he won his second successive title, beating second seed Billy Harris 6-4, 6-2 in the final of the Delhi Open ATP Challenger tennis tournament at the DLTA Complex on Sunday. It was a better fare than what he had executed in winning last week’s Chennai Open Challenger, as Jacquet did not drop a set en route to the fourth singles title of his career. He did seem to be gripped by a small spell of nerves, or perhaps indecisive play, as he failed to convert two set points on his serve in the ninth game. The battle was on an even keel in the second set till 2-2 but Jacquet wound up the proceedings swiftly by not allowing Harris to convert two game points in the sixth game.
