Billie Jean King Cup: Adkar, Yamalapalli Lead India's Recovery Against NZ; Indonesia, Korea Win
Billie Jean King Cup Group: Straight sets wins from Vaishnavi Adkar and Sahaja Yamalapalli eased Team India to victory against New Zealand in their second match of the Billie Jean King Cup Group I - Asia/Oceania fixture in New Delhi on Wednesday. The hosts bounced back hours after conceding their opener versus Thailand at the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association Complex.
Representing India in the singles’ rubbers, the 21-year-old Adkar, who made her BJK Cup bow in the previous match, defeated New Zealand’s Aishi Das 6-2, 6-4. Yamalapalli sealed the win with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Valentina Ivanov before Rutuja Bhosale and Ankita Raina paired up to face Monique Barry and Erin Routcliffe to close out the tie.
Showing no signs of any hangover from her opening-day defeat, Adkar came out sharp, breaking Das early to move 2-0 ahead in the first singles rubber on Day 2. She tightened her grip with another break in the fifth game, shutting the door on any comeback and closing out the set 6-2 with authority.
