Indian women raring to take on Latvia

Team well prepared and ready to give its best, says captain Vishaal

Taking on Latvia in the World Group play-off tie of the Billie Jean King Cup will be a daunting task, but the Indian team views it as a privilege and the best chance to make an impact on the world stage. Qualifying for the first time for the play-offs was in itself a historic step for Indian women’s tennis. “The players are excited and hungry to do well. Latvia has top-50 players. We have nothing to lose. We can only gain from this tie,” said captain Vishaal Uppal addressing the media on Friday, before the team’s departure for Latvia.
