It's not sarcasm
I remember on GM someone wrote they don't have any woman players and such,
so I was genuinly surprised to see them here and I do wish them all the best.
I'm sure most Syrians don't get to decide who their leaders are
and what descisions these leaders make.
That's probably even more true for women.

Best of luck team Taiwan.

[Ben.]

C'mon Aussies you can do it!!!

[the jamierbelyea]

Wow, strong field. Taiwan's Chan/Chaung could come in handy. Hseih is playing better then Chan at the moment.

Australia looks to be a favorite as well.

[the jamierbelyea]

Suchanan always plays well at Fed Cup, but too bad her form has gone so down hill lately, go Thailand! =)
