AFP, Sydney :
Australia will play the United States on clay in their Fed Cup tie in Brisbane next month, Tennis Australia said on Friday.
Two of the most successful Fed Cup nations will face off on a purpose-built clay court at Pat Rafter Arena for the right to return to the elite World Group on April 16-17.
“It’s a fantastic advantage to play a Fed Cup tie on home soil. This is an important tie for both teams to return to the World Group and we expect a very fierce battle,” Australia Fed Cup captain Alicia Molik said.
In 13 previous Fed Cup meetings, the USA has won eight times, including the teams’ most recent encounter in 1985.
