Fed Cup World Group Results


It'll be the United States against Italy to decide the winner of the Fed Cup for 2009. Mary Jo Fernandez led her underdog charges to victory over the team from the Czech Republic.

Meanwhile Italy trounced Russia to make the final. In my opinion it's a toss up. The United States isn't even supposed to be in the Final.

I'll do a complete Fed Cup round up tomorrow.
