Serena To Play Fed Cup

Mary Jo Fernandez is overjoyed.

“I am very excited that Serena wants to represent her country. As Captain, you want to have your best players competing, and Serena is the best in the world. Liezel is unquestionably our team leader and her strong doubles play has clinched both ties this season. Melanie is possibly the most improved player in the world this year, as evidenced by her incredible run at the US Open, and Alexa won two key matches on the road against the Czech Republic in April and will not be intimidated by the environment. I strongly believe that this team can go into Italy and win the Fed Cup title.”
