Davis Cup: Paes-Bopanna keep India alive with win against Croatia

Zagreb (Croatia), Mar 7 (UNI) India kept alive their hopes of staging a comeback against hosts Croatia in their Davis Cup qualifier after Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna edged Mate Pavic and Franko Skugor 6-3 6-7(9) 7-5 in the doubles to slash the deficit against the two-time former winners to 2-1, here on Saturday.
Croatia’s Marin Cilic takes on India's No1 Sumit Nagal, who replaces Prajnesh Gunneswaran, in the first of the day’s two reverse singles, with Borna Gojo set to lock horns with Ramkumar Ramanathan in the potentially decisive final rubber, if needed.
The 46-year old Paes and fellow veteran Bopanna, 40, rolled back the years to clinch a thrilling contest against their Croatian rivals, who must now rely on either 2014 US Open winner Cilic or 22-year old Gojo to finish the job after they had engineered a 2-0 lead in the tie on Friday.
