 Not quite, we would lose to Turkey if they beat Portugal and us, and Portugal beat Latvia. And we would be in a 3 way tie for 1st if Turkey win both games and Latvia beat Portugal (which would be decided by sets won, so we currently have the advantage of having won every set so far).

 Oh heck, that's complicated. Is it a mini league thing with only the top team going through?

 Yes, it's complicated - rahter like the ATP finals. Round-robin groups, with rules for deciding who goes through if teams are tied.

Full explanation in the FED cup rulebook http://www.fedcup.com/media/247912/247912.pdf see appendix A clause 11 (on page 34, which is actually the 40th page of the pdf)

No double bagel, the Latvians saved two break points in the first game, but not in the third, and it is now *2-1 to GB

Tad predictable to dominate only to lose the breaker!!

Settle down girls, it's not crucial but we really shouldn't be losing this one.

They won the first two points in the tie break and then lost seven in a row.

And... they lost it.
0-6 6-7(2)

Good job that's not really going to be of consequence right now, but later in the week, we might be wishing for Anna

Vismane is 16, JWR 37 (JCH 33)
Marcinkevica is doubles WR 197
