Indian teenager Yuki Bhambri ousted eighth seed Horacio Zeballos with a three-set win to advance to the second round of the US Open men's singles qualifying event.
Yuki pipped his Argentine opponent, who is ranked 86 places above him at 109, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5) in the first round of the hard court Grand Slam tournament.
