Dhakshineswar Suresh has emerged as a key player in India's Davis Cup campaign, outclassing Dutch number one Jesper de Jong to equalize the Qualifiers Round 1 tie against the Netherlands at 1-1. The match saw both players serve strongly, but Suresh seized his opportunity late, breaking the deadlock.
