India vs Netherlands, Davis Cup 2026 Qualifiers Round One: Live Streaming, TV channel, where and how to watch?
India’s hopes will be pinned on the shoulders of Sumit Nagal and Yuki Bhambri.
India will look to capitalise on home conditions when they host the Netherlands in the Davis Cup 2026 Qualifiers Round One tie, scheduled for February 7–8 at the S.M. Krishna Tennis Stadium in Bengaluru. Check the India vs Netherlands live streaming details below.
With a place in the September second round at stake, the encounter brings together contrasting team profiles, rankings, and momentum early in the season.
Ranked 33rd globally, India enter the tie as underdogs against a Netherlands side placed fourth in the Davis Cup rankings and runners-up in 2024.
However, the absence of Dutch top singles players Tallon Griekspoor and Botic van de Zandschulp significantly alters the balance, opening a realistic pathway for the hosts to challenge a traditionally stronger European unit.
India’s hopes will rest heavily on Sumit Nagal, the country’s highest-ranked singles player and their most proven performer at Grand Slam level.
He is supported by emerging talent Dhakshineswar Suresh and Karan Singh in singles, while the experienced doubles pairing of Yuki Bhambri and Rithvik Bollipalli adds depth and reliability in the crucial middle rubber.
The Netherlands, led by non-playing captain Paul Haarhuis, are expected to rely on squad depth and doubles strength through David Pel and Sander Arends, even as Jesper de Jong and Guy den Ouden take on singles duties.
