\"DavisNamangan<\/strong>: Yuki Bhambri<\/a> and Rohan Bopanna won their singles match to reduce India\u2019s margin of defeat to 2-3 against Uzbekistan in the Davis Cup<\/a> Asia\/Oceania Group I second round tie on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bhambri defeated Istomin 6-7, 7-6, 7-6 after a two-hour-39-minute battle at the Pahlavon Sport Complex. It was Istomin’s first loss at home in six years.<\/p>\n

Rohan Bopanna<\/a>, playing the fifth match as a replacement for Sanam Singh, got the better of Sarvar Ikramov 6-2, 6-7, 6-1 for a consolation win. Sanam was ruled out for the match as he is suffering from chicken pox.<\/p>\n

The experienced doubles pair of Bopanna and Leander Paes were stunned by Istomin and Murad Inoyatov Saturday, ensuring a sixth World Group play-off for Uzbekistan in September. Uzbekistan have never made the 16-nation elite group since since they joined Davis Cup in 1994.<\/p>\n

India, on the other hand, stay in Asia Oceania Group 1 for at least a year and play New Zealand in September.<\/p>\n

The visitors lost the tie on the second day for the first time since the World Group play-off against the Netherlands in 2003. <\/p>\n

In the opening day Friday, debutant Sanam lost to Istomin while Bhambri went down to Farrukh Dustov. (IANS)<\/strong><\/p>\n
