British Tennis - Lawn Tennis Association

Great Britain have been drawn to play Sweden away in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group II Play-offs on April 21st & 22nd 2012.

AEGON GB Fed Cup Team captain Judy Murray gave her reaction to the draw against Sweden:

"Sweden's top two players, Johanna Larsson and Sofia Arvidsson, are similar in ranking to our top two players, Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong, so it should be an interesting match up.

"Heather Watson and Laura Robson are very close to them in rankings as well, so we have strength in depth which is a big advantage as the play-offs are best of five rubbers over two days.

"We are looking forward to it as it's a big opportunity for GB to grab a place in World Group II."

The tie will see two singles rubbers on Sat 21st with each nation's No.1 player playing the other's No.2, before the two singles matches are reversed on Sunday 22nd.

These will then be followed by a fifth rubber, a doubles match to decide the final score in the best of five rubbers contest.

The AEGON GB Fed Cup Team, captained by Judy Murray, recently progressed out of Euro/Africa Zone Group I with four wins out of four in Eilat, Israel on February 1st - 4th.

The team consisted of Elena Baltacha, Anne Keothavong, Heather Watson and Laura Robson.
