How did Sloane win the US Open? This is ridiculous. Kinda tired of this fluke slam wins. She'll cost the team the tie.:rolleyes:

She won't, because the tie is so absurd that even the US can't possibly lose this, no matter how hard they try.
But it's a very disappointing Fed Cup final, mostly due to the fact that the Czechs imploded and Azarenka is once again absent.
That this US team is having so much trouble in this final and will still win this and paint it as a "US women's tennis revival" is infuriating.
Especially if you consider what would happen if even a 50% Azarenka was playing.

Well, doubles usually is a crap-shoot, so we'll have to wait and see. Yeah, Azarenka is in an unfortunate situation at the moment.

Since when is Azarenka Czech??
So like her Boyfriend want full custody or part visitation rights ? and Vika is in Europe most of the time so he wants Vika at USA ? If Vika had the kid with me, I would just let her have the child full custody, that is so convenient. I don't have to pay for raising the kid or anything, that is Great..........

Oh, you'll still have to pay for sure. You just won't see the child.

Venus should have played instead of Sloane. Sloane can't beat anyone after winning USO?!? Fortunately CoCo put the team on her shoulders and carried them to victory. She was not to be denied, and did a nice job coming back from down 2-5, fighting off a couple set points, and winning the set and match in the tiebreak. Way to go, CoCo!!!

Ah, such a shame Belarus hasn't snatched this one. Having a biggest tournaments' winners list comprised of Serena-Ostapenko-Muguruza-Stephens-Wozniacki-Belarus would've been something else...

Gotta admit, I was rooting for Belarus because of the sheer fight they displayed. It was funny when Carillo said “the President is here - not the President of the Belarus Tennis Federation, the actual President of Belarus!” That’s support right there!

I said it was BS for Sloane to win comeback player of the year. Won a slam and **** all since then. 6 match losing streak, what an embarrassment.

Should've gone to Ash Barty, at least she put forward more then 3 good runs at tournaments all year.

I think it was an amazing tie but it is very, very sad that Azarenka couldn't be a part of it. Not only because she is so good at single but also an excellent doubles.

Stephens lost 6 matches in a row since after she won the uso:confused:?

She's having big struggles adjusting to fame. She has made a lot of bad errors with social medias and her game is really suffering real bad right now. She needs to correct things big-time. There are expectations on her that she could really capitalize on to her advantage if she can cope with the pressures.

Is this the BEST EVER Fed cup in history of Fedcup or what ?????????????????????????


Belarus was supposed have been blown off the fedcup courts by this Very Strong USA team. but they played out of their minds and almost beat USA. they have everything to be proud of...........

Agree, this is an incredible effort by this proud country. A lot of fight in Belarus. Tough conditions in this country. People who get the opportunities from Belarus do not let them slip. They are very happy for the opportunities.

Gotta admit, I was rooting for Belarus because of the sheer fight they displayed. It was funny when Carillo said “the President is here - not the President of the Belarus Tennis Federation, the actual President of Belarus!” That’s support right there!

Agree

See,, if Vika played they would have won for sure.

Definitely. She is extremely strong in the double and singles form of tennis.

Yeah. It seems that Vika’s chained to the house right now.

This is to do with big legal problems and disputes with an ex partner who is deliberately being very vindictive and putting their child in the middle of their disputes. It's exactly what you're not supposed to do in these custody issues. That idiot should be ashamed of himself.

So does this exciting Final argue against getting rid of Fedcup ???? many feel that we should just get rid of Fedcup since it causes too much schedule conflicts for top players. or just make it a 1 week event. and Fed cup is usually Boring too.

I think Fed Cup and Davis Cup are in threats at the moment unfortunately because there are competing team competitions.

We could also have a WTA version of the Laver Cup. Could be called "Billy Jean King Cup" or choose a similarly celebrated women's player who did a lot for the sport.

Can you imagine a final day showdown where the Europe Group has Sharapova in a final match against The World Team with Serena Williams?

:eek: - Really? Could be different conditions in America. Serena Williams and Sharapova are big drawcards here. The star players create a lot of tensions and dramas in crowds here. I'm suprised.
