TAIPEI: Wu Di and Zhang Zhizhen won their doubles rubber on Saturday, sealing China’s victory over Taiwan in the Davis Cup Asia/Oceania Group I tie. The Chinese pair took three straight sets from Taiwan’s Jason Jung and Peng Hsien-yin 7-6 (7/4), 6-4, 6-3 in Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan. That puts China through to face Kazakhstan in a promotion play-off in early April. Taiwan has not beaten China in almost a decade, having lost the last three times the cross-strait opponents faced off in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Taiwan’s Yung is ranked 168th, the highest among both teams, but had conceded his Friday’s singles match due to a leg injury. His teammate Chen Ti also lost his singles match after playing a gruelling five-set against China’s Li Zhe.
