Our team for Davis Cup tie against Chinese Taipei was announce ... As expected AITA left out Praksh Amritraj due to his American passport which make him ineligible to represent India as per the new government policy ... So Rohan Bopanna selected in his place and surprisingly AITA selected Sanam Singh as a fifth member (reserve player) of the team.

Sanam’s selection came a day after he was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2009 US Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s (ITA) national team indoor championships where University of Virginia won title beating their old nemesis Georgia.

Indian Team - Somdev Devvarman, Rohan Bopanna, Leander Paes, Mahehs Bhupathi and Sanam Singh as reserve player
