Tennis: Uphill battle for NZ in Davis Cup tie

New Zealand face an uphill battle to avoid serious embarrassment in the Davis Cup tennis tie against Kazakhstan.

The kiwis head into today's doubles rubber 2-nil down, after Adam Thompson and Dan King Turner were both beaten in the opening singles matches.

New Zealand veteran Alistair Hunt will now team up with King-Turner late this afternoon, needing to win to keep the tie alive.
