Great news, Hev just lacking confidence maybe in her singles.

Poland will be the tough match, i'd expect Australia to be a comfortable victory.

I agree Poland the standout team, and Australia do have Dellacqua for the doubles so I'm not sure that'll be straight forward, of course Hev could take her out in the singles, so we won't have to worry about that.

At 10am Wednesday we play the Polish team of Jerzy Janowicz and Agnieszka Radwanska
At 5.30pm on Friday we play the Australian team of Matt Ebden and Casey Dellacqua

Heather has lost three times to Agnieszka, she doesn't seem to have played Casey before and may have a chance of a win.
Andy has a 4-1 record against Jerzy and a 2-0 record against Matt

Already a thread in the General Forum mate.

Heather was poor in singles although Cornet played some great tennis. Redeemed herself in the mixed.

I think that's the main thread on the competition, it's already got quite a lot of posts.

edit: jeez, I must type really slowly!!

Marinkovic is going to be replacing Ebden apparently, based on his comments to the press.

Marinkovic is a nice combination of Marinko's christian and surname ;)

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Echoing earlier comments about Heather and what a good thing it is for her to be seeing (playing) a number of top ranked girls. Looks a good format as preparation for GS tournaments for all concerned, andy getting some good hits with solid players also. Schedule a bit too full to repeat it before other GS events but does look fit for purpose.
