India were handed a tough draw in Davis Cup Tennis. They have been pitted against top seeds Czech Republic in the World Group Play-offs, to be held from September 18 to 20 either in New Delhi or Pune. The draw was held in London yesterday. India defeated New Zealand 3-2 in Group I second round last week to reach Play-off stage while the Czech team had lost 2-3 to Australia in March in the World Group first round. The last time the two sides played each other was in 1997 when India had travelled to Pribram, where they lost 2-3. Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi had played all the singles and the doubles matches.
