Davis Cup: Indian team to be decided a day prior to the draw

The Hindu  

The Indian Davis Cup team will travel to Zagreb for the Davis Cup tie against Croatia, with three doubles specialists. Rohan Bopanna, Leander Paes and Divij Sharan will all be going to Croatia for the Davis Cup qualification tie, along with the singles specialists Prajnesh Gunneswaran, Sumit Nagal and Ramkumar Ramanathan. Read | With all the three doubles specialists having a good chance to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, it will be important for them to be eligible for the same, by meeting the Davis Cup requirements.The 46-year-old Leander will qualify through many ways for Tokyo, considering his vast Davis Cup service and also the fact that he is the only tennis player in the world to have competed in seven Olympics.Rohan Bopanna also would be eligible, owing to his Davis Cup service spread over 28 ties, starting from 2002.However, Divij Sharan has played only two ties so far in his career, one in 2012 against New Zealand, and the one last year against Italy.The eligibility criteria demands a player to be part of the Davis Cup team thrice during the Olympic cycle.Of course, there are further exceptions to the eligibility rules, but it may be taken for granted that Divij Sharan would play the tie against Croatia. The main venue is available to us only from the March 2, but AITA has arranged an alternate venue with similar indoor courts for us to practice and get acclimatised’’, Zeeshan said.With physio Anand Kumar Dubey occupied with Fed Cup service, the Davis Cup team will have Yash Pandey and Gaurang Shukla as the physios.
