Yu Xinyuan beat Suwandi in the reverse singles on Sunday to lift China to a 4-1 win over Indonesia in their Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Group I playoff.

Yu won the three-set dead rubber 7-6 (4), 6-3 at the Tianjin Tennis Center in the eastern Chinese city of Tianjin. His teammate Lu Hao forfeited his singles match against Prima Simpatiaji because of injury.

China's victory was already assured before Sunday's action, having already won Saturday's doubles match and Friday's two singles contests.

In doubles, Wang Yu and Yu Xinyuan defeated Suwandi and Bonit Wiryawan 6-3, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2).

Earlier, Sun Peng and Wang Yu romped to straight-set wins Friday.

Indonesia will now play Thailand - which lost to Japan this weekend - in a 3rd round playoff in September to avoid relegation to Group II.
