It’s an easy draw for India since none of Finland’s singles player features in top-100. Emil Ruusuvuori, ranked 101, is their best player while others are not even in top-400. Henri Kontinen is ranked 30 in the ATP doubles chart. “Yes, it’s a favourable draw for us. But in Davis Cup World Group, no team is easy. We have enough time to prepare, I am sure will qualify for next stage,” India captain Rohit Rajpal told PTI. The winner of the tie, scheduled for 18-19/19-20 September will advance to the Davis Cup Qualifiers.
