The US-based player steered India to their 2nd straight Davis Cup win over a top team
MUMBAI: Last year, Dhakshineswar Suresh was far from doing the kind of things he did for India in Davis Cup over the weekend in Bengaluru. Not even among the country's top-five ranked singles players, he was part of the reserves in the squad and based in the US playing collegiate tennis.
The 6'5" Madurai-born player, though, possessed a weapon not many can flaunt in Indian tennis currently ~a big serve.
An inspired pick by non-playing captain Rohit Rajpal, Dhakshineswar was brought out of the reserves and placed in the forefront of India’s two significant Davis Cup wins in the last six months.
“He's been a real star,” Rajpal told HT. “This guy has plenty of potential. He'sa gifted player with a lot of good things, and a good head on the shoulder.”
Against Switzerland in Biel last September, the team’s secret weapon, then ranked 626th, upset 155th-ranked Jerome Kym to set the foundation for a rare away Davis Cup win in Europe that earned India entry into the Qualifiers Round 1.
