India vs Sweden Prediction

Sweden will go into the Davis Cup 2024 tie as the firm favorites. Having never beaten Sweden, India need to pull off something very special to turn the tables. Going past Ymer, Borg, Bergevi and Goransson will be tough to beat for Ramanathan and Balaji.

The last time these two teams met in the Davis Cup, Sweden defeated India 3-0 back in 2005 at the RK Khanna Tennis Stadium in New Delhi.
