Confident of getting better results in new season: Bhambri
After losing to World number six Tomas Berdych, promising tennis player Yuki Bhambri today said he is confident of getting better results in the new season
Melbourne
Yuki further said that due to financial barriers, he cannot afford to have a full-time travelling coach and will try to juggle his trainer and coach when he is travelling.
"If I stay healthy I don't see why I should not have a good or even better year (than 2015). I feel like my career has just begun and I have only spent one year on the Pro tour. Matches are going to get tougher as I plan to compete at the higher level tournaments whenever it is possible and I hope that I can be ready for them," Yuki who succeeded in breaking the top-100 barrier in the 2015 said.
"There is no one on a permanent basis for now as it very very costly and it's just not possible to do with the minimal support that I have but I will look to mix it with a coach and trainer and try and do whatever is possible by myself," he added.
The 23-year-old also lamented the fact that he could not display to his true potential against  Berdych but  the Australian Open has made him realise that he is not too far from the top lot in world tennis.Â
''Was he trying too hard, going for those extravagant aggressive shots, which he could not rein in? You always try hard but that was not the real reason for errors. But I wasn't at all close to my potential," Yuki said.
Before the match, Yuki had said that playing against a top player like Berdych will help him assess his game. and when asked about the strategy he said, "I feel that I am not really that far and there is not that big a difference between players. It's more about consistently performing the whole year."
