Davis Cup: Ramkumar-Balaji pair loses must-win doubles, India suffers sixth defeat against Sweden

Davis Cup: Ramkumar-Balaji pair loses must-win doubles, India suffers sixth defeat against Sweden

The Hindu
Sunday, September 15, 2024 12:12 PM GMT

Ramkumar Ramanathan and N Sriram Balaji lose do-or-die doubles, India succumbs to Sweden in Davis Cup tie.

Ramkumar Ramanathan and N Sriram Balaji could play well only in patches to lose the do-or-die doubles against Andre Goransson and Filip Bergevi as India succumbed to Sweden in the Davis Cup World Group I tie after conceding an unassailable 0-3 lead, in Stockholm on Sunday (September 15, 2024).

After losing both the singles on Saturday (September 14, 2024), India needed to win the third rubber to stay alive in the tie but Ramkumar and Balaji went down 3-6 4-6 in one hour and 19 minutes.

India's dismal record against Sweden in the Davis Cup continued as it was the team's sixth defeat in as many ties.

The reverse singles have been rendered inconsequential.

India will now compete next year in Play-offs to keep place in World Group I.

The Indian pair had its first chance in game three in the opening set on Goransson's serve. Balaji and Ramkumar pocketed four straight points to earn a breakpoint but the home team averted the danger.

Ramkumar was, however, broken in the next game and Bergevi held his own to zoom to a commanding 5-2 lead.
