Davis Cup captain Amritraj assures ‘smooth sailing’

Newly-appointed Davis Cup captain Anand Amritraj is confident that it will be “smooth sailing” for the team in 2014 as the players’ revolt was thing of the past but he wants to have a say in the decision-making process for taking the team back to the elite World Group.

Newly-appointed Davis Cup captain Anand Amritraj is confident that it will be “smooth sailing” for the team in 2014 as the players’ revolt was thing of the past but he wants to have a say in the decision-making process for taking the team back to the elite World Group.

AITA roped in Anand as the non-playing captain in place of SP Misra after top players revolted for better playing conditions and demanded a change in the support staff.

“2014 will be different than this year as there were some problems. I think next year would be smooth since the players have got what they wanted, it will be smooth sailing,” Amritraj said. “I am concerned with singles and not the doubles, because we have to win two singles.”
