Fed Cup 2019 - in GB?

As expected for the singles. Wonder why Katie S rather than Heather for the doubles.

Especially when Watson's a Fed Cup veteran and probably the best dubs player in the squad. Time will tell if it pays off, but unlike most group formats, if you lose one match it's almost over.

Maybe we are thinking that Katie and Jo will win so lets get Harriet and Katie straight in the action, get the experience with at least a match win under our belts? Perhaps...

Juvan is certainly no gimme for Katie. If Boulter kicks things off and loses then I can see that being changed. This is arguably the toughest tie of the lot despite Greece having Sakkari.

I agree with JonH - if we win both singles, then let Harriet and Katie get the experience of playing in front of the home crowd. And, yes, the nomination can be changed after the singles anyway.

Well yeah, if we lead 2-0 It's a bit different, although that said, if GB, Slovenia and Greece all win 2 matches and lose 1 (and Hungary lose all 3) then all rubbers will have implications.

Boulter is 4/9, Juvan 13/8, so it's not exactly a 1/10 type match where she's an overwhelming favourite. Juvan and Jakupovic (top 50 dubs) will probably be our toughest doubles rubber as well.

how about Harriet and Katie have impressed more in practice and Heather hasnt been up to scratch. Could well be the case.

Croatia won the deciding doubles in their group 64 64. Not a clean start for them

So Croatia and Serbia both won their first matches, will they fight it out to top the group then?

Sam Smith confirmed on commentary that Heather is unwell and isnt on site - thats why she wasnt nominated for dubs.

Jo really not playing well. Dalia better than I've seen her of late.

Slovenian serving for the set for a second time

5-6*
