Fed Cup miscellany

Sandra Harwitt is blogging from France this weekend, and there are other writers who are contributing to the Fed Cup blog, which is worth reading. For example, we learn from the Fed Cup blog that Craig Willis, the master of ceremonies in Adelaide, remarked that Rennae Stubbs has been playing in Fed Cup for so long that--when she started--the Dead Sea was merely sick. Ba dum chhh...

We also learn from the blog that former French player Sophie Amiach, vice president of Fed Cup France, is selling the second edition of the softcover book, Les Joueuses Francaises De Fed Cup, at the matches this weekend The book, which is sponsored by Lacoste, will also be available on the FFT website.

And speaking of the French, Amelie Mauresmo is in the stands this weekend, cheering the French Fed Cup team.

"I had my chances in the second set, but psychology played a big part in the final outcome," Ana Ivanovic said about her Fed Cup match against Svetlana Kuznetsova, which she lost.

Bethanie Mattek-Sands' victory over Alize Cornet is her first-ever Fed Cup win.

I was thinking the same thing. And she's probably not the only one wishing it.

Hi Diane, there was a pic of Loic, Amelie and Francois (Amelie's mum) watching the Fed Cup matches - their expressions said it all! Her mum had to cover her eyes! lol
