This is going to be Rohan Bopanna's last Davis Cup participation.

India and Morocco will play in the Davis Cup 2023 World Group II Play-offs match on Saturday, September 16, and Sunday, September 17, at the Vijayant Khand Mini Stadium in Gomti Nagar, Lucknow.

India was relegated to World Group II after losing 3-2 to Denmark in the Davis Cup 2023 World Group I playoffs in February this year. With a win over Morocco, the Indian team will advance to the playoff game, which will take place in February of the following year and as a result, the country will have the opportunity to re-enter the Davis Cup World Group I.

The six-member Indian Davis Cup team includes Rohan Bopanna, a finalist at the US Open this year, Sumit Nagal, Sasikumar Mukund, Digvijay Pratap Singh, Yuki Bhambri, and captain Rohit Rajpal.

In the first round of the match, the 26-year-old will face Yassine Dlimi of Morocco, while on Saturday, the highest-ranked Indian player, Sumit Nagal, will face Adam Moundir.

Sunday's doubles match pits Yuki Bhambri and Rohan Bopanna against Elliot Benchetrit and Younes Lalami Laaroussi. Bopanna's final Davis Cup match is this weekend, so it will be a special occasion for him.
