Lucknow to host Davis Cup World Group-2 tie between India and Morocco

The Hindu  

The hard courts of the Mini Stadium in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, will play host for the Davis Cup World Group-2 tie against Morocco. With the two leading players of Morocco, Elliot Benchetrit and Yassine Dlimi ranked 476 and 551 respectively, the Indian team possibly did not feel the need to look for a venue with grass courts. Sumit Nagal and Mukund Sasikumar ranked 189 and 361 respectively, are expected to shoulder the responsibility of playing the singles matches. Top doubles star Rohan Bopanna will have the option of playing the doubles rubber with Yuki Bhambri or Ramkumar Ramanathan.
