In the absence of Myneni, Ramkumar Ramanathan and Yuki Bhambri won both their singles to seal a 4-1 victory for India on Sunday. With India leading 2-1, Ramanathan won it for India when he outclassed Finn Tearney in straight sets 7-5, 6-1, 6-0, claiming 11 consecutive games to emerge winner in two hours. New Zealand clearly lacked the firepower in singles to overcome India and the hosts established early ascendancy with Bhambri and Ramanathan winning the opening singles on Friday. Order was restored on Sunday as Ramanathan and Bhambri won the reverse singles. Ramanathan won the crucial points in the first set and took advantage as his opponent’s game started falling apart.
