Billie Jean Cup | Sevastova helps Latvia seal tie in third rubber
The Hindu
Ankita fights back, but to no avail
Former World No.11 Anastasija Sevastova blew hot and cold, but was firmly in control of the match as she beat Ankita Raina 6-0, 7-6(4) to seal the tie 3-0 for Latvia in the Billie Jean King Cup World Group playoff in Jurmala on Saturday. When the youngsters were given a chance to get a feel of a dead rubber at this level, Rutuja Bhosale and Zeel Desai grabbed the opportunity for a face saving doubles victory over Patricija Spaka and Daniela Vismane. Sevastova had a different grade of tennis, quite solid as Ankita pointed out about the first set, which was over in a jiffy.More Related News
