The Indian tennis contingent suffered elimination from the Davis Cup 2026 qualifiers after succumbing to a 3-1 defeat against the Republic of Korea in their second-round tie held in Seoul on Saturday.

The loss marked a disappointing end to India's campaign in the prestigious international team tennis championship. Despite competitive efforts across the singles and doubles matches, the Indian players were unable to overcome their Korean opponents on home soil.

The defeat prevents India from advancing further in the qualification rounds, effectively concluding their participation in this edition of the Davis Cup. The result reflects the competitive intensity of the Asia-Pacific regional qualifiers, where teams vie for limited berths in the main tournament.

India will now turn its focus to future competitions and preparation for upcoming Davis Cup campaigns as the team reassesses its squad composition and strategic approach to international team tennis events.
