Defending champion Czech Republic is looking to reach its 5th Fed Cup Final in 6 years having reached the Final - and gone on to win the title - in 2011-12, 2014 and 2015. Spain is the last nation to reach 5 finals over a 6-year spell – winning the title in 1993-1995 and 1998, and finishing runner-up in 1996. The Czechs are looking to become the first team to win 3 straight Fed Cup titles since Spain in 1993-95. LOOKING TO END THEIR BARREN RUN… Netherlands, Switzerland and France are all looking to end a lengthy wait for a place in the Fed Cup Final. The Dutch have not played for the title since losing to France in 1997, Switzerland is looking for a place in its first Final since finishing runner-up in 1998, while France is seeking a place in the title decider for the first time since 2005. UNSEEDED NATIONS… Czech Republic is the only seeded nation to feature in the World Group semifinals. It is the first time since seedings were introduced at the end of 2002 that only one seeded nation has featured in the semifinals. 5 unseeded nations have reached the Fed Cup Final but Italy is the only unseeded nation to win the title, defeating Belgium in the 2006 Final.

Russia is looking to avoid dropping into World Group II for the first time since 1998 in only its 2nd World Group play-off since 2006, while Belarus is through to this stage of the competition for the first time in its history and will hope to break further ground by winning a place in the top tier. • Five-time champion Spain is seeking to end its 2-year stay in World Group II in the nation’s first home tie since April 2014. Victory in the World Group play-offs would see visitors Italy lose the World Group status that it has held for 18 years, with Corrado Barazzutti’s team having not played in World Group II since 1998. • After earning a place in the World Group for 2016 for the first time since the 8-nation top-tier format was introduced in 1995, Romania will bid to maintain its status in the elite group of nations for another year when it takes on Germany in Cluj-Napoca. Romania has won 7 of its last 8 Fed Cup ties, and will hope to inflict Germany’s 3rd defeat in its last 4 Fed Cup ties and condemn Barbara Rittner’s team to a return to World Group II for the first time since 2013. • USA (17 Fed Cup titles) and Australia (7 titles) are two of the most successful Fed Cup nations, alongside 9-time champion Czech Republic, but their clash in Brisbane is the first meeting between the two teams since 1985. The historical advantage is with USA, who has won six of their last 7 meetings, and also won the last tie it contested on Australian soil in the Final in Melbourne in 1978. A win for Australia would give it an immediate return to the World Group having been relegated at this stage last year, while USA is looking to end its 2-year stay in World Group II. • Serbia will be hoping to put the brakes on Belgium’s 4-tie winning streak when the two teams meet in Belgrade. Belgium is looking to end its 3-year stay in Europe/Africa Zone Group I and has reason to be confident having won 2 of its 3 previous encounters with Serbia, although the hosts won their most recent meeting on Belgian soil in 2012. • Slovakia faces the prospect of slipping into Europe/Africa Zone Group I for the first time since 2006 when it takes on Canada in Bratislava. After 3 years away from Americas Zone Group I, Canada will also be hoping to avoid a return to Zone Group competition. Canada won the most recent tie between the two teams in Quebec City in 2014, while Slovakia won their first meeting 5-0 in Bratislava in 1997. • Having also reached the World Group II play-offs in 1999 and 2007, Chinese Taipei is hoping to go one better than its best Fed Cup performance when it faces off against Poland in Inowroclaw. The visiting team faces a stern test, with Poland determined to bring an end to a 3-tie losing streak that has seen it drop from the World Group to the cusp of a return to Zone Group competition. • Ukraine and Argentina will each hope to build on a run of 4-straight wins in Zone Group competition when they duel in Kiev. Ukraine strolled through Europe/Africa Zone Group I in Eilat in February without losing a rubber and will be confident of a place in World Group II for the first time since 2013, while Argentina is hoping for an immediate exit from Americas Zone Group I after falling to Spain at this stage last year. It could be tough for the Argentines – this is their first Fed Cup tie on a hard court since July 2011, with their previous 15 ties being played on their favoured clay. 2016 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group semifinals, World Group & World Group II play-offs Match Notes 2 CHOICE OF GROUND – WORLD GROUP FINAL The Fed Cup Final will take place on 12-13 November.

France recorded the most recent 0-2 comeback by defeating Italy 3-2 in the 2015 World Group first round.

  • PRESS RELEASE 10 February 2017 Fed Cup Commitment Awards Presented at First Round Ties the ITF, Through Its National Association
    PRESS RELEASE 10 February 2017 Fed Cup Commitment Awards presented at first round ties The ITF, through its National Associations, will present further Fed Cup Commitment Awards during this weekend’s 2017 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas first round ties on 11-12 February. This new award, which was launched at the 2016 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Final in Strasbourg, will be presented by the ITF to Fed Cup players who have shown long-standing dedication to representing their country in this prestigious competition. Each award recipient will have competed in a minimum of 20 World Group ties or 40 ties at any level of the competition (including zone group events) over their career. The ITF presented the first five trophies to players in Strasbourg to four of France’s Fed Cup stars, Gail Benedetti, Francoise Durr, Mary Pierce and Nathalie Tauziat, and four time Fed Cup champion Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic.
