India’s Davis Cup hopes crumble despite doubles promise

Stockholm, Sep 15 (UNI) India’s hopes of advancing in the Davis Cup 2024 were all but over after their doubles team fell short on the second day of their World Group I tie against Sweden.
Having entered the second day trailing 2-0, India’s glimmer of hope rested on the shoulders of the experienced doubles pair of Ramkumar Ramanathan and N Sriram Balaji. However, despite their best efforts, the duo was unable to reverse India’s fortunes, losing 6-3, 6-4 to Sweden’s Filip Bergevi and Andre Goransson, thus handing Sweden an unassailable 3-0 lead in the tie.
The doubles match had been widely seen as India’s best chance to pull one back, especially with both Ramanathan and Balaji boasting significant doubles experience. After suffering back-to-back singles defeats on the opening day—N Sriram Balaji lost 6-4, 6-2 to Sweden’s Elias Ymer, while Ramkumar Ramanathan was beaten 6-3, 6-4 by Leo Borg—India’s chances of staying alive in the tie depended heavily on their doubles combination.
