Fed Cup is different. The US hasn't cared for years. Not that that matters; the US has no one good anymore so their participation is irrelevant. But top women tennis players are always injured these days, and this allows teams full of healthy average players like Italy or Slovakia to take advantage from time to time. Which I guess is the point of a team competition, but it sure looks stupid. Not that I'm not happy Italy won, I totally am. Fran FH Roby Flav :whatever:

Stop kidding yourself. An Aneres/Lindsay/Penis/Random Top 50 scrub team would be amongst the best. That's the problem. The best team is very unlikely to win with this format. Therefore, it all needs to be held at one time. I know that means no home advantage, but oh well. Would be better than the crap we have now. And poor Fishin' Hat looked lost in the ceremony. I don't think the other pretty Italian snobs like her. Stupid Flavia. Go fuck Old Carlosh and win all your Tier 6's somewhere else.

That's a funny pic.lol I wasn't watching..no.lol. I just get the feeling that the belgians are so hard on JHH and not so for Clijsters. Like today, even though it was nice to have KC there, it was just another eg. of the double-standard for KC and JHH. It hurt me a bit to know that JHH was all but banned from supporting the team in Ostend because of ..whatever...whilst KC could come. It pricks me just a bit.lol. Belgium is a divided country and Kim and Justine hail from opposite halves. Are Walloons just KRAZY about Kim? Maybe, I don't know. I'd bet Justine is more popular there though ...

Remember when Monica would never say "NO!" to BJK for Fed Cup duty? And the JenFat tantrum? Fed Cup used to be decent, bordering on interesting.

I watched some of it- and they were awful!!!!!! Choking Fran -vs- Chaking Chaky, Choking Fran -vs- Choking Sveta. Stiff as a board Mara -vs Vesnina.
The venue is dead. These Moscow Fed Cup ties have no life at all. It's like a library there.

Indeed.
But, I'm glad that TTC will have something else to show than the FRA/ITA and USA/RUS ties over and over again.
