Davis Cup finals 2019: Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan says it is a special feeling playing for tri-colour

Firstpost  

Jeevan firmly believes that winning against a weaker opponent would not take anything away from his debut. New Delhi: Playing Davis Cup at the age of 30 is not a step forward for Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan but he still feels it will be a “special week” in his tennis journey when he faces Pakistan. It’s any player’s dream to represent the country, it’s the highest honour for a player to represent the country.” The big-serving Saketh Myneni is also in the squad but indications are that it will be Jeevan, who will play alongside Paes in the doubles. Asked how his game complements Paes’ since both are good at the net, Jeevan said their left-right combination would trouble the opponents. “I feel like I am playing my best tennis right now.Maybe the results did not come as they come the last year but I would say last year I was playing on Challenger circuit which gave me the opportunity to play on Tour this year.
