After a pretty hectic Saturday, I took the opportunity to watch the Fed Cup yesterday. Federation Cup is the womens equivalent of Davis Cup in tennis.
Australia has been out of the top tier for a few years but yesterday with good wins they are now back into it.
Twenty one year old Ash Barty played one of the Danes and ended up winning comfortably. Then Dasha was on the court, she had been out of the team because of her form but with the weeks practise prior to and the fact that we were two up, she was given the chance to see what she could do. Well, she gave a very good account of herself and she said after that it was the best tennis she has played in several months.
The doubles was a dead rubber but they all played to win and the teenager of the team was given a go with Dasha and they won as well. I think we will see a lot more of Desaree (the teenager) in the next couple of years.
