Match 5 -
Prakash Amritraj (IND,265) bt Farrukh Dustov (UZB,249) 63 36 63 62

In first match Istomin showed his class of handling pressure better than his Indian opponent ... After losing first 2 sets and down 2-4 in the third set he showed character to produce one of the memorable comeback in Davis cup matches ... Bops was struggling with his game after third set and then he played terrible tie-break double faulting 3 times.

Kash was playing his first live 5th rubber ... In this match Dustov played better tennis ... He was bending his knees while hitting shots but still he wasn't manage to read court's bounce ... In second set Kash suddenly lost his focus and made many UFEs ... But with help from Lee he managed to control his nerves and then played smart tennis to win next 2 sets to win this tie for India.

Now in April we r playing against Japan with home advantage ... That tie will be on grass court, so we can consider us as favorite for that tie.

I luv when commentators called SSP as Simply Special Player or Performer and today he truly deserved that.

This was SSP's biggest prize money in his small career and we know he will repeat such performance on bigger stage in the future ... Today he played unblemished final round of -5 to win his first European title, -4 on front 9 and -1 on back 9 ... I watched some of live telecast of this event, he made superb couple of tricky Pars ... I liked his concentration and we knows how much he is good on green.

Digvijay and Gaurav scored -2 & -1 round to climb in top 5 and top 10 finish ... Arjun struggled to score +4 round to end tournament on PAR ... Ernie Els scored -1 round to finished on T6 position.
