Yuki, country's top singles player, overcame Ramanathan 4-6 6-3 6-4 in a little over two hours at Balewadi Sports Complex.
Interestingly, Yuki's last Challenger had come at the same tournament and venue in 2015. He had broken into the top-100 after that trophy-winning effort and this win will again push him to the top-100 bracket.
He's ranked 137 now and 80 points earned from his event will put him close to 120, when the new rankings list is released tomorrow.
His next event is Bengaluru Open, where he is seeded third and faces N Sriram Balaji in his opening round.
