Fed Cup 2018

[Bumpswithagrin]

Stosur is a good doubles player, had a decent doubles career before concentrating on singles.

Also the Dutch team is not that great.

Surprised Dasha wasn't picked for the singles though.

Aww, who broke my Fed cups?

Surprised Dasha wasn't picked for the singles though.

I feel like Dasha was demoted due to what happened last tie vs Ukraine. Both very winnable matches.

Stosur ! Lost the first set

I see she's trying to outstink Dasha's effort in the previous tie vs Ukraine

I'm not surprised. Did she at least win the second set?

Kerkhove wins, interesting tie here now. Would think Barty would be able to win next match though hopefully.

Loses the tiebreaker 7-1. She is just a shadow of the player that smashed Serena in the 2010 US open final.

Australia gets 2 cakewalk ties because our players are fully committed to Fed Cup and it's still not a lay down misere.

 

[JackNah_8]

Disappointing result. Barty should win

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Ash well in control at the moment, up 6-0 3-0.

Stosur ! Lost the first set

Well, there's a surprise. Not.

She should retire before she is remembered only for losing her matches.....US Open will be a long lost memory for most otherwise.

Maybe they are giving her a farewell tie? The way she has been playing she will struggle to win any match.

 

[JackNah_8]

Maybe that was her last match in Fed Cup!?!?

She should get a nice sendoff at the AO.

Hopefully, the AO gives her a WC. can't see her finishing inside the top 100 if she doesn't improve her form.

Barty won the 3rd rubber comfortably and now gavrilova is on court. She has also just won the opening set.

 

[pepsi]

Gavrilova wins and with that Australia is back in the world group.

Hopefully, the AO gives her a WC. can't see her finishing inside the top 100 if she doesn't improve her form.

She'll get one. There will be outrage if she doesn't.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Ended up with so much on this weekend I didn't see any of this! Glad to see we won the tie in the end though.

She would get a WC, despite her hilariously poor record at AO over the years, she's a slam champion and they will give a good send off.

3-0 to the Czechs over a US team missing all of its stars.

The 3rd tie went for 3 3/4 quarter hours, so the matches were at least tight.

6 in 8 years for the Czechs.
