Fed Cup 2014 - Euro/Africa Zone Group I

The usual early start to the thread now that the new rankings are out - I've put Group I in the name this time to remind us to start a new thread if we manage to get to the playoffs again. GB have dropped one place to 17 after losing to Argentina, with them, Poland and Canada all moving ahead of us, while France...

She's just tweeted a link to a YouTube vid announcing the news.... Always sad when someone calls it a day but can't say I'm entirely surprised. It would have taken a heck of a lot to get her ranking back up to anything like it was and I guess not a lot of people at the age of nearly 30 want to go back to grinding o...
