This is the fourth time in five years that the Russian team has qualified for the Fed Cup and they will be pitting it out against the Spanish team in one the sports important tournament for women in the world.

 

The U.S Captain Zina Garrison said that she was she was really disappointed that she did not have the top players to play against the Russian team and was happy that the younger players really played up to their skins. Zina said that it was clear that the young players like Ahsha Rolle and Vania King are all future stars. The players received good reviews and encouragement from many people during the course of the matches.
