Leander Rohan Bopanna and Leander Paes have kept Indian hopes alive in the Davis Cup Qualifiers with a three-set victory over Mate Pavic and Franko Skugor of Croatia in Zagreb yesterday. Indians defeated Croatian duo 6-3, 6-7, 7-5 in a two-hour match.
India now trail 1-2 and need to win the remaining reverse singles to qualify for the Davis Cup Finals.
With this win, the 46-year-old Paes has extended his Davis Cup record of most doubles victory to 45 and has possibly played his last tie as he has announced that 2020 is his final season.
