Tennis: India resolves Davis Cup row -- for now

India's top players on Sunday made themselves available for the next Davis Cup tie in April after inking a conditional truce with the country's tennis federation. Eleven players had declined to play in last week's Asia-Oceania group one tie against South Korea in New Delhi following a dispute with the All India Tennis Association (AITA). India, with three debutants in the ranks, were thrashed 4-1 and must now defeat Indonesia in Bangalore from April 5 to 7 to avoid being relegated to group two.

Eight top players, excluding Leander Paes, submitted a list of requirements to the All India Tennis Association (AITA) with a veiled threat to snub the regional first round tie in New Delhi from Feb. 1-3 if no action was taken.
