HE MAY be the man of the moment, but Damien Applewhaite is still giving credit where it’s due.
Barbados’ new Davis Cup captain isn’t stealing anyone’s thunder, having given Darian King and Haydn Lewis all the praise for the country’s first ever Group II tie victory on foreign soil.
Applewhaite strongly acknowledged the efforts of his top players just a day after the Bajans completed a historic 3-2 win against hosts Paraguay in his debut tie at the helm.
“Darian continues to perform exceptionally well when wearing the Barbados gold and blue. His experiences on tour just make him the right person to go out there and perform in these conditions for each tie. Also Haydn as well, who is very valuable in doubles. They link up quite well and they’re pretty much the backbone of the squad,” Applewhaite said. (JM)
