Yuki Bhambri and Dhakshineswar Suresh secured a close doubles victory against David Pel and Sander Arends, giving India a 2-1 lead in the Davis Cup Qualifiers versus the Netherlands.
Bhambri and Dhakshineswar Deliver When It Matters Most
India seized the advantage in their Davis Cup Qualifiers matchup against the Netherlands with a determined three-hour doubles victory on Sunday.
Yuki Bhambri and newcomer Dhakshineswar Suresh triumphed over David Pel and Sander Arends 7-6 (0), 3-6, 7-6 (1) on Sunday, giving the hosts a 2-1 lead and validating captain Rohit Rajpal’s daring decision to replace N Sriram Balaji with Dhakshineswar.
With the score even at 1-1 through the night, the match turned into a trial of composure. The initial set was merciless, with Bhambri’s serve consistently pressured. He encountered break points in multiples — five in a single match — yet consistently found a way out, fueled by an enthusiastic home crowd. As neither duo blinked, the tiebreak came, and India quickly advanced. Bhambri and Dhakshineswar charged to a perfect 7-0 breaker, hardly allowing the Dutch a chance.
The Netherlands responded in the second set. Bhambri’s first-serve problems reemerged at the worst possible moment, a double fault allowing Arends to capitalize with a precise backhand volley. The Dutch took advantage, breaking free and equalizing the match.
The determining factor was sheer exhaustion. India wasted several break opportunities, including a prime 0-40 start on Pel’s serve, while Dhakshineswar remained resilient during critical moments. Matches prolonged, energy shifted, and tensions grew
The crucial moment arrived when Arends paused for a medical timeout due to his bandaged left hand. His serve faltered, India recognized it, and the home duo eventually seized control before confidently advancing through the final tiebreak.
The victory gives India a significant advantage going into the reverse singles, where Sumit Nagal and Dhakshineswar will aim to complete the task.
