Fed Cup
The Russian team, led by Shamil Tarpishev, defeated the Spanish women in what can only be described as a comprehensive beat down. I was able to watch a few matches on WebTV and could only shake my head as the Russian team used their size advantage - the average height of the Spanish team was 5'4" - and fire power to win point after point. Congratulations to Team Russia on their victory.
