Barbados were unable to secure victory on home soil, losing the all important, exhilarating Davis Cup World Group II relegation playoff tie 3-2 to Bolivia on Sunday at the Raymond Forde Tennis Centre in Wildey.
Non-playing captain Damien Applewhaite said he was heartened by the team’s performance, playing with determination despite not being able to come out on top with the win.
“First of all, I want to make it clear how proud this team should be. Coming into this very difficult tie, all I asked was for us to be competitive and let the results speak for themselves, and we did that against a high calibre team. I am very proud,” Applewhaite said.
“We got to wait and see where this leaves us. We got to look elsewhere and see where other teams finish, and see where our ranking lies. There is a possibility we could stay in Group 2, and if not, play Group 3 tennis.”
