In Tennis, India lost the Davis Cup Qualifiers 1-3 to Croatia in Zagreb yesterday. Sumit Nagal was routed by Marin Cilic in the reverse singles match after big-serving Rohan Bopanna and Leander Paes won the do-or-die doubles match.

Former US Open Champion Marin Cilic crashed Sumit Nagal 6-0, 6-1 in just 56 minutes. Earlier, Bopanna-Paes pair defeated Mate Pavic and Franko Skugor 6-3, 6-7, 7-5 in the do-or-die doubles after the team lost the first two singles.

The fifth rubber is now inconsequential and India will now compete in World Group I in September to get back to the Davis Cup Qualifiers.
