India Faces South Korea in 2026 Davis Cup Qualifiers Second Round
India aims to end a nearly six-decade wait for its first Davis Cup title in the 2026 Qualifiers second round against South Korea on September 18-19 in Seoul. India has reached the Davis Cup final three times (1966, 1974, 1987) but never won. The current team, featuring top-ranked players Sumit Nagal and Yuki Bhambri, seeks to advance to the Final 8 in Bologna. Historically, India holds a 5-6 head-to-head record against South Korea, with the last meeting in 2016 won by India.
