"這是自2001年後我們第四次對決 很幸運的 前三次都由我方獲勝 而我知道 我的隊員都很 希望繼續保持這個記錄" "Going from an Australian summer, where the girls have played on hardcourts, to a slow indoor claycourt, in the Swiss Alps, is quite a contrast but I am confident they will make the adjustment." "從澳洲賽季的室外硬地球場轉移到瑞士速度較慢的紅土球場是ㄧ個相當大的轉變 不過我 相信她們應該都可以調適得很好" Stosur and Gadjosova both crashed out in the first round of the Australian Open this week, but Taylor had no doubts his singles aces would quickly rebound. 雖然Stosur跟Gadjosova都在澳網首輪出局 不過Taylor相信這兩位單打好手都可以很快的 回復 "Sam and Jarka have had very challenging summers but I know they are extremely motivated to get back on track in Switzerland," he said. 他表示"Sam和Jarka的夏季都打得不好 不過我知道他們都有極佳的動力想在瑞士回到正軌" Dokic is returning to the Fed Cup fold for the first time since 2009, while Dellacqua hasn't featured since 2010. 這是自2009年後Dokic首次參加聯邦杯 而Dellacqua則是2010年後再次參加 "Casey has played a significant amount of matches on the Australian Pro Tennis Tour and has stepped up with a few wins at WTA tour level recently," said Australian coach Nicole Bradtke. 澳洲隊教練Nicole Bradtke表示:"Casey在澳洲參加了許多低階賽事 並且已慢慢的回復到 WTA的水準" "Jelena also has been able to post some wins recently in Sydney and Melbourne and I'm sure 2012 will see them both climbing back toward the top 50. "Jelena最近也在雪梨及墨爾本取得了一些勝利 我相信在2012年她們兩位都可以重返前50" "They both deserve the opportunity to represent their country again." "她們都有資格再次代表她們的國家出賽" The tie is being hosted in Fribourg and marks the fifth time the two countries have met. 比賽將在瑞士的Fribourg舉行 這將是兩國的第五次對決 Australia leads 4-1 in the head-to-heads. 在過去的對戰紀錄中 澳洲取得4-1的領先 Australia was dumped from the World Group last year with a shock 3-2 playoff loss to Ukraine in Melbourne, but haven't lost an away tie since 2008. 澳洲隊去年在墨爾本以3-2意外輸給烏克蘭後被移出世界組 不過澳洲隊自2008年後從未在 國外輸球 http://goo.gl/fY7FA 相當不錯的陣容 澳洲一二三姐都到齊了 這樣還輸的話真的要踢Dave的屁股了! --
