Debutant Suresh Dhakshineswar stunned Switzerland's Jerome Kym 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the opening singles rubber before Sumit Nagal defeated Marc-Andrea Huesler 6-3, 7-6 (4).The Indians are one win away from defeating the Swiss in the away Davis Cup tie, with the doubles and the reverse singles encounters scheduled to be played on Saturday.Sriram Balaji and Rithvik Bollipalli will take on the Swiss pair of Jakub Paul and Henry Bernet in the doubles rubber.Balaji and Bollipalli have had mixed fortunes in recent times. The Indian duo reached the final of the Sumter Challenger in the US, losing to the all-American pair of Patrik Trhac and Ryan Seggerman in the title round.The Indians failed to advance past the opening round of the US Open after losing to the Dutch-American pair of Bart Stevens and Vasil Kirkov.Notably, Balaji and Bollipalli went down fighting against the Swiss pair of Jakub Paul and Dominick Stricker in the first round of the Swiss Open in Gstaad in July.In Biel, however, the pressure will be on Jakub Paul and Davis Cup debutant Henry Bernet in what will be an absolute must-win contest for the home side.The Indians will have a distinct edge in the reverse singles, given the manner in which World No. 155 Jerome Kym was outplayed by Suresh Dhakshineswar, ranked 626.Despite firing in a barrage of powerful first serves in the opening set, Kym was no match for Dhakshineswar, who came into his own in the second set.Marc-Andrea Huesler, however, appeared to be on the verge of a fightback in the second set after going down to Sumit Nagal in the opening set. Huesler threatened to break Nagal's serve twice in the second set, but the Indian maintained his composure to come through in style.India vs Switzerland Davis Cup Match DetailsMatch Details: India vs Switzerland, Doubles and Reverse Singles, Davis Cup World Group IDate & Time: Saturday, September 13, 2025, 5:30 PM ISTVenue: Swiss Tennis Arena, Biel, SwitzerlandIndia vs Switzerland Davis Cup Day 2 PredictionWith the Indians leading 2-0, expect Sriram Balaji and Rithvik Bollipalli to get past Jakub Paul and Henry Bernet in three sets.Sumit Nagal will go into the reverse singles rubber against Jerome Kym as the absolute favourite.
