The Fed Cup Team to compete in the Asia/Oceania Zonal Group tournament in Perth 4-7 February has been finalised.
The team will be lead by our top player Marina Erakovic, with Dianne Hollands (fresh from her successes at the New Zealand Money Tournaments) Shona Lee, and Kairangi Vano (who made their WTA debut as a doubles combination at the ASB Classic recently), with Team Captain Marcel Vos, Manager Peter Lumsden and Trainer Gary Hall.
New Zealand’s second-ranked female player, Sacha Jones had to withdraw due to injury.
The nations playing in Asia/Oceani Group 1 are: Australia, India, Korea, Thailand, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, New Zealand, Uzbekistan
The format of the tournament is round-robin, with the eight nations divided into two pools of four.
The winners of each pool will play off with the winning team advancing to the World Group II Play-offs in April 2009. The nations finishing fourth in each pool will play off with the losing nation being relegated to the Asia/Oceania Zone Group II in 2010.
