Bangalore: Miracles do happen. If you were at the KSLTA stadium on Saturday you witnessed nothing short of a monumental comeback, when Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna virtually looked dead and buried trailing by two sets and a break, but scripted one of the most memorable fightbacks Indian tennis has witnessed.

After three hours of nerve-jangling tennis, the Indians prevailed 1-6 6-7 (4), 6-3 6-3 8-6 over Serbs Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac in the Davis Cup World Group playoff. India thus stayed alive in the tie, but Serbia still leads 2-1 lead into the reverse singles on Sunday.
