In a must-win match on Saturday, Christopher/Nesa chalked up a hard-fought 6-7(1), 6-4, 2-6, 6-3, 9-7 win over Mao/Zhe.
Indonesia now trails China 2-1 after losing its first two matches on Friday.
"I am very proud of my players. They took a 5-2 lead in the last set, then lost their focus that allowed their opponents to level at 5-5. However, their high fighting spirit finally led them to win
the match," non-playing captain Suwandi said.
Suwandi hoped the victory momentum would continue Sunday, the last day of Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Group II playoff. (***)
