    Kveta Peschke instead of Andrea Hlavackova?

    I'm guessing someone chose end of year vacation vs. Fed cup. Any ideas?

    It's not unusual for the highest-ranking doubles player to be chosen for a Fed Cup team.

    Whoops, I did a quick web search and didn't realize that she was the #2 ranked doubles player. Thanks for the correction!

    And they got to the final with Iveta and Barbora--plenty of good Czech doubles players!
