Second consecutive evening Davis Cup tie for India

New Delhi, Dec 30:
Keeping in mind the fan support, India will have its second consecutive Davis Cup tie in the evening when the hosts challenge New Zealand in the Asia/Oceania Group I encounter, starting February 3, 2017 in Pune.
The singles matches on Friday will start at 3pm while the doubles rubber is scheduled for 6pm start. The reverse singles on Sunday will again start from 3pm.
During the World Group Play-off tie against Spain in September, the singles had started at 5pm and the doubles at 7pm at DLTA.
The players were consulted on the timing even as captain Anand Amritraj was not consulted since the AITA was not sure at that time whether he will continue in the post or not.
Outgoing captain Amritraj said he was no consulted on the timing of the tie but it won’t make any difference in the outcome of the match. (PTI)
