Czech vs. Germany

The teams are set.

Team Czech: Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova, Lucie Safarova, Lucie Hradecka

Team Germany: Angelique Kerber, Andrea Petkovic, Sabine Lisciki, Julia Georges.

Who you got?

In the poll, the number of wins shown for the losing team is their number of wins when
the tie is clinched by the winning team. In other words, it does not include dead rubbers.

The event will be held in Prague, Czech Republic on indoor hard courts.

The bookies favor Czechs as they give 8/11 odds for the Czechs and 6/4 odds for the Germans.

The Czechs have won Fed Cup in 2011 and 2012. Also, they have beat Germany in their
last three ties.

The Czech team will be too strong overall..Kvitova always seems to find her best tennis when she plays for Czech in Fed Cup ( Gee I wish she would wear her Czech uniform for all the tennis season)

Very unwise to pick against the Czechs but the hard hitting Germans can do it.
I'll go with the host team in a nail biter.

I created this thread a week ago and forgot to vote in time.

So, I am posting it here.

Germany wins this time with a score of 3-1.

I voted 3-1 for Czech. Though I've not been very successful recently so hopefully I didn't jinx them.

Congrats to Petra and Lucie both winners today in their singles matches

Shout out to Petra,who always plays well at Fed Cup Level

Well done to Lucie,she handled the pressure well against Kerber.Kerber just fell apart towards the 1st and 2nd sets.Kerber's serve let her down badly,her ufe count was another factor in her defeat

Well done to the Czech team they are 2-0

^ you are the only one who picked 3-0
I hope that's not the case although it's a strong possibility...

I don't think anyone can beat Petra here.

But hey, we want more, don't we?

^ As I said before when Petra plays Fed Cup,her level of play goes up a notch
Remember to,Petra is playing on a indoor fast court? suits her game to a tee.

Ben Rothenberg on Twitter,

"Rittner,also sullen,said too-fast court wasn't unfair since they had full week to adjust.She refused to comment on the Lisicki possibility".

Petra is now 22-6 in Fed Cup singles

Makes you wonder how she lost those 6 matches?

I don't remember all of them but the last 2 was with Ana in the finals in 2012, where she was after an illness and on Sunday she was out of steam and with Vinci on clay in Palermo last year in the semis.

^ Yep I remember when Petra was defeated by Ana
It comes as no surprise that Petra gets defeated on clay,her worst surface,in my home town of Palermo as well.
