KEY POINTS:

    Indian top seed Yuki Bhambri breezed past Germany's Alexandros-Ferdinandos Georgoudas to claim the Australian Open boys' singles title on Saturday.

    The 16-year-old from New Delhi took just 57 minutes to win 6-3 6-1, breaking Georgoudas' serve twice in each set, while not being down a break point on
    his own serve at any stage of the match.

    It continued a good record for Bhambri at Melbourne Park.

    His previous best junior grand slam performance came at last year's Australian Open, when he lost in a semifinal to Australia's Bernard Tomic, who went on to win the event.

    In the boys' doubles final, Francis Casey Alcantara of the Philippines and Taiwan's Cheng-Peng Hsieh combined to down Russian Mikhal Biryukov and Japan's Yasutaka Uchiyama 6-4 6-2.
