I think it says a lot about Mauresmo's lack of confidence in Alize. Clay is her best surface, and she was the highest ranked French player on the team. The fact that Amelie thought an untested Mladenovic was a better choice than Alize--on clay--is a bit puzzling. Like I said we all know Alize's troubles in FedCup, but she has been a loyal supporter of the team and deserved the chance to play in the singles.
