Yep, with 11 teams there's a day off for everyone at some stage and Day 9 is ROSA's turn. You will play your Day 10 tie against the European Union in this same leg. :)
Same points! :D The overall team score will decide the final outcome, which will be revealed only after the other rubbers. ;):eek: it is very rare, isn't it? :p

This time the belgians showed up with a pretty consistent performance by all the members, while the world #1 Carot’s good shape was not enough for the AdMeans. After 3 consecutive losses the Belgians consolidate their top 6 spot, moving up just ahead of the AdMeans.

The You Knows are sure to be #1 at the end of the Round Robin: this means they are directly through to this season's semifinals and they will surely play in next year's World Group I.
It could be the same for ROSA, but Belgium, Russia and European Union can still catch them at #2.
As for the others, everyone but the Zebras have still a chance to get 4 wins and join at #6 the AdMeans, who haven't got their day off yet so they have just one tie left to defend that spot.
Remember only top 6 will play this season's Fed Cup World Group I main draw.

Top 5 have qualified, the EU team will join them with a Day 11 win no matter what, while Canada needs to win, with the EU team losing, and scoring 3 rubbers more than the EU team (in case of a tie with a difference of only 2, the EU gets in for the direct match win): that is 5-0 and 2-3, 4-1 and 1-4 or 3-2 and 0-5.
