bout Indonesia Vs China, high possibility will be 0-5 for China we can see from the Ranks
Indonesia:(258) TEDJAKUSUMA ROMANA ,(519) DAMAYANTI AYU FANI, (625) WIDJAJA ANGELIQUE :D , (1028)MENDE SEPTI
while China Greatly in the top 100: (46)Jie Zheng, (50)Na Li, (60)Shuai Peng, (78)Zi Yan :worship:

Curently Angelique widjaja's rank is 625 but she is the best player in indonesia, she start in pro again-after long injury- in 2006 by taking a part in 5 tour, and got ranks 625(its Great I think :D )

Further more, Angelique Widjaja has just recovered from long injury, and Wynne Prakusya (1st player of indonesia) also got serious injury. So Indonesia doesnt have great pair in double (Wynne+Angelique) so mostly tennis fans in indonesia excactly know bout this condition. But its played in Senayan Indonesia, Indonesia is good in Team (Rank no 11 of FedCup Team). We will Cheers Up Senayan, GO Fed Cup Team Indonesia!!!!!

Fed Cup official site only has 2 players for Argentina's team: Argeri and Gussoni :help:

Any info on that? They can't play with 2 players, can they?

didnt know angie widjaja is ranked so low now :eek:

yah after 3 years got injury (if I'm not mistaken) she doesnt have rank yet in january 2006, and got 18.5 points after taking a part in 5 tours, last result is got Semifinals in 25K Victoria, Ausie, from Qualifying section.

My frenz in angeliquewidjaja.com said that angie still not in Top Form, she doesnt have "confidence" like in 2002, but she has some improvement, some of us see her practice for preparing againts China in FedCup next week. We'll see, is She still Great ;)

bout the rank, she ever said that, she doesnt wanna force herself to get points for increasing her ranks, she only take some tours--2 or 3 tier/chalanger Tours-- a month. the important thing is she can play tennis continuesly :p

Come on USA!
