What I like best about Fed Cup...

Is that it is unpredictable. I'm not into country vs. country sports, but I enjoy Fed Cup because lesser known players often rise to the occasion. Doubles specialist Mervana Jugic-Salkic is one of those players. In her Bosnia/Herzegovina rubber against Poland, she defeated world number 9 Agnieszka Radwanska, 1-6, 6-4, 7-6.

Jugic-Salkic, who has two Sony Ericsson WTA Tour doubles titles, is ranked 170 in the world in singles.

It was a nice run, but it's over

Klaudia Jans and Mervana Jugic-Salkic, a last-minute substitute team at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, were defeated today by the also-unseeded team of Iveta Benesova and Janette Husarova, 5-7, 6-3, 10-2. Jans and Jugic-Salkic defeated the teams of Chakvetadze and Vaidisova, number 2 seeds Srebotnik and Sugiyama, and Medina Garrigues and Ruano Pascual.

Benesova and Husarova will play Chan and Chuang in the final. Benesova has also revived her singles game of late.
