Yuki Bhambri had to settle for a silver medal in the tennis event after retiring hurt due to cramp on his legs in the singles final on a mixed day for Indians in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games here on Saturday.

Yuki, who had stunned second seeded Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina en route to the final, was trailing 1-4 against Juan Sebastian Gomez of Colombia in the third and deciding set when he retired hurt and conceded the match 7-6(4), 6-7(4), 1-4 at Kallang Tennis Centre.

With Yuki’s silver, India’s medal tally on the seventh day of the Games stood at four — three silver and a bronze.
