"I'll play Fed Cup if I'm not in a wheelchair," Serena Williams declared three weeks ago. I don't know what her immediate mobility plans are, but she does have to play her sister tomorrow in the Sony Ericsson Championships final in Doha. In the meantime, USA Fed Cup captain Mary Joe Fernandez has selected Vania King to be on the team.
Williams' thigh is bandaged this week, so we can probably expect to hear more about her condition soon.

So Serena is playing the Doha final in a wheelchair? Why doesn't this surprise me. If she didn't intend on playing why make herself available in the first place.
In an odd way, I'm almost "glad" Serena isn't going to play. The same with Venus. MJF's "B"-team made it to the final against all odds and, win or lose, I kind of like that they will be able to control their own ultimate fate (although, I'm sure Flavia, Francesca & Co. will have something to say about that, too, huh?) in the end without the inclusion of any "ringers" who did absolutely nothing to get the American team into this position.
I think it's nice for Melanie and Alexa that they get to see this to the finish, yes. One question I have: Where is Bethanie?
