Well with Kvitova being so ill (she barely could hit the ball in the court in her Exho today, even when Maria started to push) its really Serbia's title to win.
OK...first match tomorrow: Ana - Lucie at 13.30 AM, then JJ - Kvitova.
According to Cronin, Ana isn't fully recovered from hip injury, but she has been moving better past 2 days. Kvitova is feeling better, she'll play, but she said she didn't had good preparations for Fed Cup final...
Eventual Fed Cup title will be for Ana and Jelena potential new Careers corner stone! (For Jovanovski/Krunic also)
Look what is happen in near past with Kuznetsova, Dementieva, Safina, Zvonareva, Schiavone, Errani/Vinci, Hradecka/Hlavackova after theirs countries won this trophy. Not the mention ATP Davis Cup cases.

AMAZING BELGRADE MIRACLE: In just three years (2008-2011) 5 different players born in same city reach world #1 in rankings and several GS titles and finals (WTA singles: Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic, ATP singles: Novak Djokovic, ATP doubles: Nenad Zimonjic and Daniel Nestor... with notable performances of Bojana Jovanovski, Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki which is also all three born in Belgrade)
I've officially come down with Fed Cup fever. Might as well be Serbian, lol. Ana just needs to win tomorrow, if Serbia are to have any chance. This is going to be a mess tbh, Lucie's form is iffy + Ana's nursing that injury from Moscow (plus lord knows what form she's in). I do think that the pressure is on the Czech Republic though, given that they're the hosts, the defending champions and that most people expect them to win. Serbia have nothing to lose. Corny, but true.

Most of Serbian chances and hopes in this final is based on Kvitova Illness, but Petra obviously solved that problem, so todays painful lose against Safarova looks now less bad than right after match.
FED Cup final is still best moment for Serbian womens tennis this season. Ana is titleless and not back's into WTA TOP10, JJ have disaster season for former #1, Jovanovski and Krunic for sure have much better expectations of 2012.
Interesting is that Serbia have solid chances to repeat same success next season - 1st Round vs Slovakia in Belgrade, against (Sharapovaless) Russia SF again in Belgrade and final vs CZE again in Belgrade (or there will be draw with Italy).

HC is perfect opportunity to successfully start season with title and gain confidence. Ana+Novak is favorites for title, and be very close to Nole may have positive influence on Ana.

I hope you're right, but I didn't notice that he has a positive influence or any influence on her. Maybe it can change.
Maybe someone tells me I'm retarded, but I have a strong feeling they will turn the tables tomorrow and win it 3-2. I feel like it will be much different tomorrow, but that's just my sense, it looks so far away now. It does look unbelievable to come back.
