Australia beated Colombia in a very exciting match with 3-2!

After the wins of Molik (AUS) and Zuluaga (COL) the score was 1-1 so day 2 proved out to be an exciting day for both the teams..

Day 2 didn't start that well for Australia.. After an exciting long match, Alicia Molik from Australia wasn't able to defeat Fabiola Zuluaga, Molik lost the match with 6-2 6-7 (4) 10-8!

So Australia was in a nasty position now... They HAD to win, otherwise they could go back home again.. But they did.. Nicole Pratt kept Australia in the match by beating Catalina Castano with 6-3 7-6 (3)

So now the doubles match need to decide who was going to advance to the semi-finals of the Fed Cup.. It was Alicia Molik and Rennae Stubbs from Australia vs. Catalina Castano and Fabiola Zuluaga from Colombia.. first set was an exciting one, but the Aussies managed to win the tie-break with 7-5.. The second set turned out to be an easy one, Stubbs and Molik won it with 6-2 and with that victory, Australia advances to the semi-final of the Fed Cup..
