Qatars Davis Cup team made a winning start to their Asia Oceania Group III campaign, beating Malaysia 2-1 in their Pool B round robin tie in Singapore. Mousa Shanan Zayed won the opening singles rubber as he beat Christian Chin 7-5, 6-2 at the indoor courts of OCBC Arena.
His younger brother Mubarak Shanan Zayid later overcame Shamirul Shahril Mohamed 7-5, 5-7, 6-1. The doubles match, however, saw Rayane Alami and Mousa Zayed go down to Christian Didier Chin and Syed Mohamed Agil 6-0, 2-6, 6-2.
The Chairman of National Teams Committee at the Qatar Tennis, Squash and Badminton Federation Khalid Al Khalaifi said in a statement today that he was happy to win in the start of the competition, adding that the Qatar team's victory at the start of the campaign will give a great boost to the players in the coming days, especially as everyone sets a key goal that we all strive to achieve which is the qualification of Davis Cup 2020 in Group B.
Qatar will now take on Syria (who beat Iran 3-0) today in the second round robin tie.
