Billie Jean King Cup Asia: Thailand took an early lead overhosts India on the opening day of the Billie Jean King Cup Asia/Oceania Group I Qualifiers at the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA) Stadium on Tuesday, after rain forced play to be suspended.

Persistent showers earlier in the day delayed the start of proceedings by nearly three hours, with the opening singles rubber getting underway close to 6 p.m.

India’s Vaishnavi Adkar, ranked No. 383 in the world and making her debut in the competition, made a slow start against 23-year-old Anchisa Chanta (No. 456).
