U.S. Fed Cup Team Announced

The USTA announced that Serena Williams will lead the U.S. Fed Cup team including Liezel Huber, Melanie Oudin and Alexa Glatch when it meets Italy in the Fed Cup Final which will be contested in Reggio Calabria, Italy, on November 7-8.

The best-of-five rubber tie begins on Saturday, November 7 with two singles rubbers and is followed by two reverse singles rubbers and the doubles rubber on Sunday, November 8. Tennis Channel will present daily live coverage beginning at 5:00 a.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday.

The U.S. is undefeated against Italy in Fed Cup competition, having won all nine previous meetings between the two countries. The U.S. won the last meeting between the two nations in 2003 in the quarterfinal tie in Washington, D.C., as Chanda Rubin and Meghann Shaughnessy each won two singles matches to lead the U.S. to a 5-0 victory. The U.S. and Italy have never met in a Fed Cup final.

The Italian team announcement is expected shortly.
