Sanam and Leander were cruising for comfortable victory after two sets ...

In this set our players played lethargically and Lee lost his serve in 7th game with few errors ... In last 2 games our pair again showed same intensity which they showed in first 2 sets ... They broke again David's serve in 10th game this time on luv for dominating win ... This was Lee's 50th Davis cup tie and scored another victory with another new partner, Sanam Singh..
