What a nightmare end! I was going to comment when it was 97 points all, how unimportant those first 194 points must feel. It all comes down to the last few points... Then Heather only won one more point and Alison won 8. All came down to those points.

Unfortunately, a bit of a collapse from Heather. Van Uytvanck breaks to 15 and the rubber and the tie goes to Belgium. :(

6-4 3-6 6-4

Overall, a good effort from the girls and great that Katie was given a chance to shine. Belgium from the start was the team to avoid in my opinion, so to take them to two closely fought three setters is admirable. Just have to try again next year.

Try again next year. Good effort, but missed Jo Konta.
Even a fit Robbo or if Naomi sorted out her differences with the LTA may have changed the result.
