將在九月14-16日於印度舉行的台維斯盃印度－紐西蘭之戰全印網球協會(AITA)鑒於奧運提名時Bhupathi/Bopanna執意搭檔等行為以紀律理由限制出賽同時，Paes因為赴美參加WTT無法參賽，而在美網復出的Devvarman也推辭出賽幾乎所有印度一線球員都無法參與這場亞大一組降級附加賽首輪這也是自1995年以來首次印度陣容中沒有Bhupathi或Paes的情況印度的單打點得仰賴排名189的Yuki Bhambri及266的Vishnu Vardhan 雙打部分則以Divij Sharan(109)和Purav Raja(140)最高紐西蘭單雙前二則是Jose Statham(S-314/D-210)、Daniel King-Turner(S-384/D-309) 印紐之戰的負方將在十月19-21日與中華隊競爭亞大一組最後資格若印度落敗：保級戰印度主場、紐西蘭落敗：保級戰台灣主場 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bhupathi, Bopanna get Davis Cup axe NEW DELHI: Bangalore duo Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna were dropped from India's Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Group I relegation tie against New Zealand to be played in Chandigarh from September 14 to 16 on disciplinary grounds - for asking to go to the London Olympics as a team and refusing to play with Leander Paes. With the 39-year-old Paes and singles exponent Somdev Devvarman making themselves unavailable for the tie, AITA had little choice, but to go for a new-look squad led by young gun Yuki Bhambri, ranked 191. The other members of the team are: Vishnu Vardhan (285), Saketh Myneni (387), Sriram Balaji (390), Sanam Singh (415) and Divij Sharan (1310). The squad will be pruned to four before September 2, when the International Tennis Federation will be notified about the selection. The opposition in the relegation tie will hardly qualify as mighty even for this depleted Indian outfit as the highest ranked player among the Kiwis is Jose Statham at 324 and Daniel King Turner follows at 386. The 20-year-old Bhambri, the former world junior No.1, who AITA conveniently overlooked for the Olympics, has it in him to pull off the tie on his own. Vishnu should provide good support. Paes chose to make himself unavailable for Davis Cup play as he was caught up with the World Team Tennis competition in the United States. Somdev, on the other hand, said he wasn't fit enough for Davis Cup commitment at the moment which would require him to play two five-set singles matches in three days. Bharat Oza, AITA secretary general, said, "As per the executive committee meeting on July 1, we got the direction that there should be a code of conduct for the players, who refuse to play (as selected by AITA). We had this selection problem before the Olympics, so Rohan Bopanna and Mahesh Bhupathi were not considered." Whatever shape the team finally takes, come September, India will go into a Davis Cup engagement for the first time in 17 years without Paes or Bhupathi. Both have skipped ties from time to time for various reasons, but not once have India played sans both of them since Bhupathi made his debut in 1995, against Croatia in New Delhi. Paes chose to make himself unavailable for Davis Cup play as he was caught up with the World Team Tennis competition and Somdev said he wasn't fit enough for the clashes. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-08-19/top-stories/33272153_1_paes-or-bhupathi-aita-paes-and-singles-exponent -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.40.157.203
