The Thai veteran had never lost to the Indonesian before in their two previous meets ahead of the Fed Cup encounter. Thailand however managed to win the next rubber after the 297th-ranked Peangtarn Plipuech rallied back to beat Beatrice Gumulya 5-7 6-4 6-4. However, Thailand finally surrendered in the decisive doubles when Nudnida and Peangtarn lost to Jessy Rompies and Aldila 6-2 7-6 (7-3). For the first time since 1976, Thailand will fall to zonal group II next year. However I believe we will win group II tie next year and come back to group I,” the Thai skipper said.
