- On Friday, India fell to a 0-2 deficit against South Korea in their Davis Cup World Group Qualifiers tie at the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center.
- Kwon Soon-woo defeated Dhakshineswar Suresh 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, and Hyeon Chung beat Sumit Nagal 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 in consecutive singles matches at Seoul's Olympic venue.
