NOVI SAD, Serbia, March 5 (UPI) -- Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac gave Serbia a 2-1 edge in Davis Cup first-round play Saturday, scoring a doubles win over India.
Zimonjic and Bozoljac notched a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 victory over India's Rohan Bopanna and Somdev Devvarman, giving Serbia the advantage heading into Sunday's reverse-singles play.
Defending Davis Cup champs Serbia will attempt to wrap a quarterfinals berth in Sunday's first match pitting Viktor Troicki against Devvarman. Troicki will be attempting to improve on his Friday performance when he needed five sets to get by Bopanna.
Should Devvarman win, the fifth rubber is currently slated to pit Janko Tipsarevic against Bopanna.
Serbia is playing without its superstar, world No. 3 Novak Djokovic, who skipped the Davis Cup to prepare for upcoming ATP Masters Series events in Indian Wells and Miami.
