Josh (VSFan1) is giving me updates I was just on the phone with him and they are about ready to start. When BJK's name was announced there were quite a few boo's, and it was announced that Jennifer was not going to be able to play due to breaking an ITF code violation.
At 10AM this morning was the US Team's practice session, and only Lisa and Meghann were there (ofcourse along with the coaches).
BJK said something about dedicating the tie to a North Carolina player who passed away about 2 months ago...DuPont was her name I believe.
1-0 USA
(monica had 0-40 on Barbara' s serve in the last game, so she had 3 set points!!!)
2-0 USA (HUGE WINNER BY MONS)
2-1 USA (BJK upset at call)
