Play begins Saturday, February 5 at 7:30 a.m. ET on an indoor hard court at the Sportpaleis Antwerp in Antwerp, Belgium. This is the seventh meeting between these two nations in Fed Cup, with the U.S. owning a 5-1 advantage (4-1 since the World Group format began in 1995). Belgium’s only victory came at the 2006 World Group Semifinal in Ostend, Belgium. The U.S. has been won the Fed Cup a record 17 times and is seeking its first title since 2000. Belgium’s sole Fed Cup title came in 2001. The U.S. reached its second consecutive final last year, where they lost to Italy in San Diego and also faced Italy in the 2009 final in Italy. The U.S. has only lost a first round tie twice (1997 in the Netherlands and 2002 in Raleigh, N.C. versus Austria) and both occurrences came in the team’s first match after winning the title (the U.S. did not compete in the 2001 semifinals after winning the title in 2000), meaning the U.S. Fed Cup has never lost two consecutive ties in the history of the competition. Belgium won the Fed Cup in 2001, its only Fed Cup title, and has won 10 of its last 12 home ties. This is their first appearance in World Group I since a 5-0 loss to the U.S. in the 2007 first round in Delray Beach, Fla. The opening day of play in the best-of-five match series features each country’s No. 1 singles player against the No. 2 player from the opposing country. The exact order of play (which country’s No. 1 plays first) will be determined at the Draw Ceremony, which will be held on Friday, February 4. The second day of competition begins on Sunday with the “reverse singles,” starting with each country’s No. 1 player squaring off followed by the No. 2 players and then the doubles match. Each match is best-of-three-sets. ORDER OF PLAY DAY/TIME MATCH PAIRING Saturday, 7:30 a.m. ET Singles A: USA No. 1 vs. BEL No. 2 (or BEL No. 1 vs. USA No. 2) Singles B: opposite pairing of Singles A *Sunday, 7:30 a.m. ET Singles C: USA No. 1 vs. BEL No. 1 Singles D: USA No. 2 vs. BEL No. 2 Doubles: USA vs. BEL * the number of matches on Sunday is subject to change DOMESTIC TELEVISION SCHEDULE Tennis Channel will present daily live coverage beginning at 7:30 a.m. ET on both Saturday and Sunday.
