Groth, Ferguson in Fed Cup squad Melbourne, 16 December 2010 Jarmila Groth and Sophie Ferguson have been named alongside Samantha Stosur (No.6), Anastasia Rodionova (No.64), Alicia Molik (No.130), Jelena Dokic (No.137) and Rennae Stubbs (No.10 in doubles) in a strong seven-woman Australian Fed Cup squad. The squad was named today by Australian Fed Cup Captain David Taylor and Coach Nicole Bradtke and it will be the first opportunity for Groth (No.42) and Ferguson (No.122) to represent their country at the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas. Australian Fed Cup Captain, David Taylor said that it is an exciting time for women’s tennis in Australia. Groth(No.42)和Ferguson(No.122)正式加入澳洲联邦盃团队，和Sam、Anastasia、Molik Dokic、Stubbs组成强大的七人小组！！ 团队人选由Sam的教练David(身兼队长)和前澳洲双打名将Nicole Bradtke(身兼教练) 所指定，明年可以代表澳洲出赛了，David说，这对澳洲女子网坛是很振奋的一刻。 “There has been some strong individual performances and milestones recorded throughout 2010,” Taylor said. “Sam reached a career high of No.5 in July, Jarmila recorded her highest ever ranking of No.41 in September and won her first WTA event in Guangzhou, Anastasia recorded her career-high ranking of No.62 in August and Sophie also had a career high of No.109 in July this year. “Add to these performances two experienced former 10 ten players in Jelena and Alicia and a top10 doubles player, Rennae, and we have a lot of depth to choose from for our Fed Cup clash in February. “It will also be Jarmila’s first chance at a Fed Cup debut after her long wait for Australian citizenship, which was granted last year. “Both Nicole and I will be watching all seven players’ performances over the next month to select the strongest possible team to take to Hobart.” "今年她们都有很好的表现，2010年所创的记录，对她们来说是个里程碑。" "她们今年都达成个人生涯新高排名，Sam七月份来到No.5、Groth九月份－No.41，并抱得 生涯第一座WTA冠军（广州），Anastasia八月份－No.62，Sophie七月份－No.109。" "这也是Groth在经过一段长时间的等待，取得澳洲国籍後，首次代表澳洲参加联邦盃。" "Dokic和Alicia也都曾进过Top10，Rennae是现今Top10的双打球员，有了这些选手， 我们有更坚强的阵容可供挑选，为二月份的联邦盃交战。" "我和Nicole会依她们在下个月的表现，组织一支最强大的队伍，出战Hobart。" 以上全是David说的～。 Australian Fed Cup Coach Nicole Bradtke said the 2010 Fed Cup champions would pose an exciting challenge for the Australian team in Hobart. “The World Group boasts some very tough competition,” Bradtke said. “We’re looking forward to taking on Italy, who have a tremendous record in Fed Cups and I am expecting the tie to be a close challenge but one which is achievable. “Playing the champion team we will be seen as the underdogs but, like the Italian team, the Aussie girls are all very passionate about playing for their country and with the home crowd advantage we will have an extra edge in February.” 澳洲联邦盃队教练－Nicole Bradtke表示，2010联邦杯冠军对澳洲队而言， 是个令人兴奋的挑战。 "世界组竞争很激烈，期待与在联邦杯赛史上，拥有辉煌记录的义大利队交手， 我预测会是实力相近的一次交峰，但我们能做到。" "和像义大利这样的冠军队伍比赛，我们或许不会被看好，但澳洲女孩们士气高昂， 为国家奋战，再加上我们有地主国的优势。" The final Australian Fed Cup team will be named during the first week of the Australian Open, with team nominations due to be submitted to the ITF 10 days before the Saturday 5 to Sunday 6 February 2011 tie. If Groth and Ferguson are selected it will be their debut for the Australian Fed Cup team with all other squad members helping the team return to the World Group for the first time since 2004. Australia’s No.1 player, Samantha Stosur, and French Open champion Francesca Schiavone are likely to spearhead the two teams in what will be a replay of the 2010 French Open final. The two top 10 women will be out to lead their teams to victory in what will be a tight contest at Domain Tennis Centre in Hobart. 最终决选名单，会在澳网进行的第一个礼拜出炉，同时在联邦盃对战前十天提交给ITF。 若Groth和Ferguson最终入选，她们能成为自2004年以降，帮助澳洲队回到世界组的 选手之一。 Sam跟法网冠军－夏凤，会成为两队的头号先锋，两人有可能重演法网对战戏码。 她们身负夺得胜利的重任，在Hobart的Domain网球中心，必有一场激战。 http://tinyurl.com/25y39u9 --
