Tennis: India To Face Switzerland In Davis Cup World Group I Tie In September
Davis Cup World Group: India is set to take on Switzerland in a Davis Cup World Group I tie, following the draw conducted by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) in London on Thursday. The crucial encounter will be hosted by Switzerland from September 12 to 14, with the hosts selecting the playing surface.
India secured their place in this tie with a dominant 4-0 victory over Togo in the World Group I Play-off held in New Delhi last month. Meanwhile, Switzerland suffered a 1-3 loss to Spain in the Qualifiers, setting up this decisive fixture. The winner of the India-Switzerland tie will advance to next year’s Davis Cup Qualifiers, while the losing team will be relegated to the World Group I Play-offs.
Historically, India holds a 2-1 head-to-head advantage over Switzerland, though their last meeting was nearly three decades ago, in 1993. In that tie, Indian tennis legends Leander Paes and Ramesh Krishnan guided the team to a 3-2 victory in Kolkata.
