when does Fed Cup start?

[Aussiefan]

[Dzung]

fed cup starts 21 april

[Nichole]

Someone has to be extremly good to beat the Russians :-

I think this will be the team :-

Elena LIKHOVTSEVA
Anastasia MYSKINA
Vera ZVONAREVA
Svetlana KUZNETSOVA
Maria SHARAPOVA

if they beat italy - they have choice of court for semis and if they make the final - then they also have choice of court

who do u think will be in the teams ?

1st round of fed cup is actually 23 - 24th of april

Russia vs Italy(C)

Nichole, I think the team of France is:

Main list:


Mary Pierce uk1
Nathalie Dechy
Tatiana Golovin
Caroline Dhenin
Stephanie Cohen-Aloro


Substituties:


Camille Pin
Virginie Razzano
Severine Beltrame
Stephanie Foretz
Sandrine Testud (I'm not sure she may comeback)


Not in list:


Amelie Mauresmo (Reason for takes the responsibility when she withdrawn her team for no reason)
Marion Bartoli (Reason for takes the responsibility when she has lost to Anastasia Myskina & Vera Zvonareva with Emilie Loit at the doubles of the final , they have defend their title was failed, and then the team leader Guy Forget was resign his position)
Emilie Loit (The same reason with Marion Bartoli)


What do you think? ;)

Well France should still get through Austria...!!! Will Mauresmo maybe play the second round???
