CHANDIGARH -- The Indian team saved its most entertaining performance for the end as they broke into a jig, which from the delightfully synchronized moves, seemed rehearsed, as they celebrated a convincing 4-1 win over South Korea in the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania tie on Sunday. The victory has earned them a spot in Septembers World Group playoffs.Rohan Bopanna beat Chung Hong 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, while Ramkumar Ramanathan went down to Yong-Kyu Lim 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(2)?in the two remaining dead rubbers. India had already sealed the tie with a 3-0 lead on Saturday and made the World Group playoffs.Filling in for Saketh Myneni, who is yet to recover from the bout of spasms he suffered during his match on Friday, Bopanna staved off an opening set loss to subdue South Koreas Hong in the days first reverse singles. Chung Hong was filling in for teammate Seong Chan Hong, who was originally slated to play the rubber.Securing his 10th singles win in Davis Cup, the last one being in yet another dead rubber against Uzbekistan in 2012, Bopanna was guilty of often placing his returns into the tramlines. One that he conceded later. I dont remember the last time I was slicing returns, Bopanna said after the match, I had no clue till I woke up this morning that I would be playing the match. It was difficult for me to get used to the court and movement, particularly since I had to change my playing style to play singles. I was instinctively hitting shots into the doubles alley.Throwing away the first set, courtesy a bunch of poor returns, Bopanna was soon trailing 1-4 in the second. However, hitting his opponents weak spot, Bopanna then switched to a serve and volley game. He broke serve in the ninth game after Chung slapped a forehand into the mesh. Three games into the third set and the Koreans left shoulder seemed sore, and all Bopanna had to do thereafter was to hold his serve and break Chungs serve once more for a comfortable win.In the other tie, Ramkumar got off to a convincing start using his characteristic big serve and took the first set in a jiffy against Lim, who, along with compatriot Chung Lyeon, had beaten the Indian duo of Saketh and Sanam Singh to clinch the 2014 Asian Games doubles gold. However, a couple of sloppy forehands and a few lobs which were off target, helped the experienced Lim level affairs. With the third set spilling into a tie break, the 21 year-old Indian dispatched two returns wide and shanked a couple into the net to hand the visitors a consolation win.Im glad that the team won, said Ramkumar, I gave my best but fell short. He did make up for it, though, with his dance moves.Soccer Jerseys Black Friday . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. Authentic Soccer Jerseys .

Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR.Ferrari have been taking a bit of stick recently over the late pit stop contributing to Kimi R?ikk?nens loss of a podium place in Singapore. Its easy to be wise after the event when not faced with making an instant decision. Even simpler when you dont have half of Italy ready to trot out previous tactical failures in the event of what quickly becomes another very public disappointment.You may think that nothing has changed at Ferrari, but a recent book* makes it clear that the current difficulties at Maranello do not have the added stress of the team principal himself cranking up the tension. For all of Maurizio Arrivabenes perceived faults, at least he is thinking only of the good of the Scuderia rather than settling a personal score with one of his drivers.The 1983 season is mainly remembered for the championship battle between Renaults Alain Prost and the ultimate winner, Nelson Piquet in his Brabham-BMW. It is easy to forget that Patrick Tambay was in the mix until political and mechanical circumstances removed the Ferrari driver from contention and led to the Frenchman being dropped for 1984 before the season was done. It was a typically unfortunate end to a comparatively brief but frequently poignant journey.His F1 future seemingly on the rocks courtesy of uncompetitive cars from McLaren, Theodore and Ligier, Tambay got the career-reviving call from Maranello following the loss of his friend Gilles Villeneuve at Zolder in May 1982. As if that wasnt enough emotion, Tambay had to lift the team once again a couple of months later when Didier Pironi, the apparent shoo-in for the title, was seriously injured during Saturday morning practice at Hockenheim. You can imagine the outpouring of passion and gratitude a day later when Tambay scored his first Grand Prix win.But the feeling of personal sentiment would be even greater the following year when Tambay, starting from the same grid position used by Villeneuve for his last race, went on to win the San Marino Grand Prix for Gilles. There was hardly a dry eye in the house.You might be forgiven for thinking that all of this would elevate Tambay into a position of deity as Ferrari ran strongly for the 1983 championship. In fact, it would have the reverse effect within one significant corner of the teams infrastructure.Marco Piccinini was the team manager; a man who not only had the devout appearance a priest built but also acted like one during his divine daily communication as the link between Enzo Ferrari and what was going within the commendatores team. Tambay, for all his multi-lingual natural charm -- or, perhaps, because of it -- did not enjoy a close relationship with Piccinini; a fault line that would become a chasm in Detroit when Tambay made a serious misjudgement.Tiring of a familiar lecture on etiquette -- You will not fight against one another. You will not touch each other..ddddddddddddYou will follow team orders on the pit board -- Tambay chose to miss the pre-race briefing in preference for watching fellow-countryman Yannick Noah play in the French Open tennis final. I felt I could skip the briefing but I forgot to ask Piccinini for the authorisation to go to my hotel room [overlooking the track], says Tambay. It was a case of my disrespect of his authority. It was a big mistake and he was going to make me pay for it.While Tambay never did discover how the news of his disobedience was relayed to the Old Man, he got a sense of it when Piccinini overruled a decision on tyre choice made by Tambay and his engineer, Tommaso Carletti, who then overheard his driver telling Piccinini to get lost. Or words to that effect.Even allowing for R?ikk?nens renowned insouciance, this is not likely to be a conversation heard in the Ferrari garage these days thanks to Arrivabenes self-confessed awareness of his technical limitations. But in 1983, Tambay was not happy about his bosss false assumption of expert competence.He [Piccinini] wasnt a real specialist, says Tambay. He didnt fit the suit. I think he wanted to have more respect and consideration. But, for me, the important team management came from the technical staff: Mauro [Forghieri - the talented and hugely respected technical director] and Tommaso.Despite starting from the front row eight times in 1983, Tambay would win just once, his season peppered with technical failures, one particular engine blow-up being caused -- in Tambays view -- by being forced to race irascible teammate René Arnoux rather than preserving an easy one-two finish.The ultimate irony would be Ferrari choosing to keep Arnoux for 1984 and replacing Tambay with Michele Alboreto. Tambay received the bad news by telephone from a journalist [Piccinini claiming the line had been busy when he tried to call some hours before].Much as the team would grow to love Alboreto, they were as disturbed by Tambays dismissal as much as the manner of its delivery. At the final race in South Africa, Tambay gave his mechanics the $3000 prize for pole position. Deeply touched by the recognition more than the amount, the boys passed on the money to an Italian charity supporting muscular dystrophy, a cause personally supported by Enzo Ferrari after his son, Dino, had succumbed to the disease in 1956.The final paradox is that Tambay, now 67, is continuing a cheerful active life as best he can while coping with Parkinsons Disease. But none of this will detract from a career that, in his view, was more blessed than blighted. There can be no doubt about that when you read this detailed and extremely revealing story.* 27 Patrick Tambay - The Ferrari Years by Massimo Burbi (Evro Publishing) ' ' '
