Hua Hin (Thailand), Feb 5
After two consecutive losses, the Indian team finally tasted success in Fed Cup as it outplayed Uzbekistan 3-0 in Pool A with Ankita Raina winning both her singles and doubles matches here today. Prerna Bhambri provided a solid start with a 6-1 6-1 win over Sabina Sharipova in just 57 minutes as India took a 1-0 lead.
Ankita, the country's No. 1 singles player, then sealed it for India with a 6-1 6-0 win over Nigina Abduraimova. In the inconsequential doubles rubber, Ankita joined hands with Sania Mirza to beat Akgul Amanmuradova and Arina Folts 6-2 6-0 in mere 48 minutes. “I had a lot of energy in my singles today. I was aggressive and did not give her any chance,” said Ankita. — PTI
