Ramkumar's easy draw in Davis Cup, Saketh Myneni out for fitness reasons

The Canadian team has not brought Wasek Poppily in single bouts, who are battling poor form. He has lost five consecutive matches on the ATP Tour. India's non-captain Mahesh Bhupathi will have to replace Purain Raja with Rohan Bopanna in place of Maineyi. Bopanna and Raja will play with Daniel Nestor and Poppi in their second Davis Cup match.

Raja was included in the team as a reserve player on an opportunly occasion when one of the two reserve players in the team, spinner N Sriram Balaji got a sprain. On the last day, Yuki will play from Shanoor, while Ramkumar will face Shapovalov.

Bhupathi said after the draw, "The draw is good. We were hoping that Shanoor will play on the first day and we wanted him to start. "When asked about the changes in the team in the couple, he said," Our best team is the team and Saket plays five sets. Myaneni, who returned to competitive tennis after a foot injury recently, had also withdrawn the name against New Zealand in Pune. Then captain Anand Amritraj had to unload Vishnu Vardhan to play with Leander Paes. Myneni did not even play against Uzbekistan after this and Bopanna played the match with Balaji.
