Junior Fed Cup Finals, San Luis Potosi, Mexico (Week 39)
Permalink  

Eleanor Dean's decision to miss the Fed Cup finals means that the team who reached the TE14 Winter Cup finals 2 years ago (Katy Dunne, Pippa Horn and Beth Askew) are reunited. Beth's elder sister Amy was part of the team (with Heather Watson and Tara Moore) that reached the final here 3 years ago. As with the Davis Cup there will be streaming from the first day on Tuesday at http://www.lalomacd.com.mx/2011/

The 16 qualified nations are Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Romania, South Africa, Spain and Thailand. Australia who include Wimbledon champion Ash Barty appear to be the team to beat
