World Group play-offs
Seeded nations

Unseeded nations
- Germany
- Japan
- Slovak Republic
- Ukraine

So Slovakia will play one of the US, Belgium, Spain or Australia. The strength of the US and Belgian team is entirely dependent on the availabilities of Serena and Clijsters, neither of whom are likely bets to play. Spain can be tough on clay, but they're still a team with one healthy player in the top fifty. If the Slovaks get them at home, you have to love their odds to move on.

That's a pretty good draw..not that I really care about Fed Cup...
