The Story in Brief
South Korea will host India on hard courts at the Olympic Tennis Centre in Seoul on September 18-19 in the Davis Cup Qualifiers Round 2, sports.ndtv.com reports. The tie follows India's recent win over Japan, and Korea's corresponding victory, setting up a clash between two form teams.
India, led by their in-form players, will look to carry momentum into the away tie. Korea's choice of hard courts, rather than clay, suggests they expect a fast, attacking contest. The winner advances to the next stage of the qualifying competition.
The Indian Opinion
The usual noise around 'revenge' or 'home advantage' misses the point. Korea's hard-court pick is a tactical move, not a trump card. India has beaten stronger teams on this surface. Watch for India's serve percentages and return depth in the first set, which will decide whether the tie stays close or becomes one-sided.
