If All The Players Peak At The Right Time, I Believe We Can Go Through,’ Says Captain Rohit Rajpal As India Look To Upset The Netherlands
Davis Cup Qualifiers Round: As India prepare for the Davis Cup Qualifiers Round 1 match against the Netherlands on 7-8 February, the national team is engaged in a rigorous training camp at the S.M. Krishna Tennis Stadium in Bengaluru, supervised by captain Rohit Rajpal.
Karan Singh and Rithvik Bollipalli started their training sessions on Thursday evening, while Sumit Nagal, Dhakshineswar Suresh, and Yuki Bhambri are scheduled to rejoin the team in Bengaluru today, as preparations intensify for the important home match.
India enters the match ranked No. 33 in the Davis Cup nations standings, going up against a strong Dutch team that is currently No. 6 globally and was the runner-up at the 2024 Davis Cup Finals. Nevertheless, the Indian team can take heart from their history, having caused a major upset over the Netherlands in Jaipur in February 1996. On that occasion, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi led a remarkable comeback to win after India was behind 1–2.
