Sumit Nagal’s come-from-behind victory in the second singles lifted India back into the Davis Cup World Group Play-off tie against Denmark after Yuki Bhambri was outplayed in the opening match. It was always going to be a difficult task for Bhambri to face world number nine Holger Rune, and it came as no surprise when Denmark’s top singles player raced to a 6-2 6-2 win on Friday to put the hosts up 1-0. Yuki needed a special effort against a formidable opponent, but he was defeated in 58 minutes. Nagal, India’s number one player, rallied from a one-set deficit to beat August Holmgren 4-6 6-3 6-4 in two hours and 27 minutes to tie the match at one.
