There is a gap in Indian tennis but structured plan in place for future: Rohit Rajpal
Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal acknowledged that there is a "gap" in Indian tennis at the moment with the next line not quite visible but asserted that a "structured plan" is in place to ensure that the fresh pool of talent emerges soon.

Cada uno juega con las armas que quiere, pero hay un árbitro, Gil Manzano, y tiene que aplicar el reglamento. Se está hablando demasiado de unas cosas de las que nos tenemos que abstraer, tenemos que jugar como el entrenador quiere, porque así somos un equipo muy fuerte», sostiene el director deportivo del equipo bilbaíno sin querer incendiar más el partido de vuelta.
