No one cares about Fed Cup final

 

Few words:

 

France  vs.  Czech Republic

Venue: Rhenus Sport, Strasbourg, France

 

Last time France played in Fed Cup final was in 2005, Russia defeated France at Roland Garros 3-2. France won Fed Cup twice (1997, 2003)

Czech Republic is the defending champion, winning Fed Cup nine times (1975, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015).

 

Rubbers:

 Karolina Pliškova def. Kristina Mladenovic 6-3, 4-6, 16-14 = is the longest singles set in a Fed Cup Final in terms of games

 Caroline Garcia def. Petra Kvitova 7-6, 6-3

 Caroline Garcia def. Karolina Pliškova 6-3, 3-6, 6-3

 

What a match between Pliškova and Mladenovic

Fantastic preformance from Garcia, giving to her team two match points!

Are you really trying to say me that you think that France can win against CZE in the doubles ?

Garcia and Mladenovic won Charleston, Stuttgart, Madrid, Roland Garros this season. Last 3 out 4 defeats came from Mattek-Sands/Safarova who have been in magnificent form since Wimbledon (won US Open, Wuhan, Beijing + YEC final)...

 

And Caro and Kiki always performed well in doubles Fed Cup ties. Though, this one will be heavy...
