India faces Latvian test in Billie Jean King Cup playoffs

The Hindu  

Lack of crowd and hard court may tilt the balance slightly away from hosts Latvia, but its leading players Jelena Ostapenko and Anastasija Sevastova were confident of playing their best at home against India in the Billie Jean King Cup World group play-off tennis tie. Conceding that hard court instead of clay, was ‘’good for team India’’, the 31-year-old Anastasija said that she had played on the courts from the age of 10, and would still feel at home. Am looking forward to it’’, said Karman, who had missed the Asia-Oceania group-1 stage in 2020 when India qualified for the play-off, by finishing second behind China. Billie Jean King stood up for equality and social justice’’, Karman said.
