Bhabri and Oliveti convincing wins

Bhambri Absent from Davis Cup
In the recent Davis Cup clash between India and Sweden, Yuki Bhambri was notably absent, along with star singles player Sumit Nagal. While Nagal had cited an injury before the tournament, Bhambri’s reason for not participating remains unknown. India suffered a 4-0 defeat against Sweden in the World Group I tie. The All India Tennis Association (AITA) later accused Bhambri of not declining the opportunity to play in the Davis Cup.
