It is necessary to confirm the position paper
Slovaks are the favorite paper, namely Swedes arrived in Bratislava without injury units Johanna Larsson. "The Swedish team is the great weakening, Larsson would be able to get the three points. Despite its absence, we can not underestimate anything. In Fed Cup are not playing on whether we are favorites of the paper. It is something completely different tournaments.

With Larsson out for Sweden, Sweden don't have anyone in the top 200 while Slovakia have Daniela & Schmeidlova in the top 50. Something weird could happen in one match, I doubt something weird will happen in three so you really have to favour Slovakia to win this tie fairly easily.

I could understand your antipathy towards Hingis, Alex, but when you expressed relief about Karin Knapp losing the Katowice final, Vidal's quotes about it not being enough to succeed but for others to fail and dying a little every time a friend succeeded came to mind, although that's probably just me. Vidal also said that “I'm exactly as I appear. There is no warm loveable person inside. Beneath my cold exterior, once you break the ice, you find cold water" which goes a long way to explaining his world view.

I did notice that when Hingis won Miami with Lisicki last year there was a lot of talk about how Hingis was doing better because she had a better partner than Daniela. Now, I hear that Hingis is doing better because she has a better partner than Lisicki. It's amazing how much worse Hingis's partners get after she goes onto someone else.
Daniela retired Hingis twice.

Murphy's law rather than Vidal's acidity.

I'm enjoying the leadership role that Daniela gets to have here, and it's one that she must handle well. Her teammates will surely look up to her. And they'll probably tell her over and over how they watched her play when they were little girls.

On Saturday Carolina Schmiedlová first, followed by Hantuchova

"It does not matter if I'm the first or second singles. What is important is only an effort to make to the success of the team do everything in my power," said Carolina Schmiedlová. Daniela Hantuchova also does not attach importance to the fact that on Friday, getting on the court as the second of Sloveniek. "I have enough experience to me on ranked matches in this competition did not matter. After a week of preparation, I feel very well and even my vocal chords are already on the better," she said hoarsely Hantuchova with a smile and said:"The vocal cords still be important for fans, we try to please their tennis performances. "

Sunday will be played from 13.00. The traditional scenario begin Carolina Schmiedlová and Copper, followed by applying a Hantuchova and Peterson. In doubles reported masters Matej Liptak and Lars-Anders Wahlgren pair Jana Čepelová, Hantuchova, respectively. Ellen Allgurinová, Cornelia Lister. The home squad is also Kristina Schmiedlová. Under these rules, MS teams under the auspices of the International Tennis Federation (ITF), the nomination may still change.

"The Swedish team we will go into the match with that given to renkingové position hráčok have nothing to lose. The young tennis players can play relaxed and hardly expect you finally show off. But I firmly believe that it is the quality of our team and get the necessary three points." said Matej Liptak, which complements his Swedish counterpart Lars-Anders Wahlgren: "We had a hilarious week of training. All the players have fared well in trainings and I finally decided to Celik and Peterson given their track record and the current form."

Liptak: "I firmly believe that the quality of the show"

Swedish tennis players are aware of the Slovak weekend before the Bratislava mutual matches in Playoff II. World Group Fed Cup teams in 2016 women much more than the other way around, but ultimately this should not lead to a result their benefit.

"I firmly believe that this aspect is not decisive. I hope that our baby show their quality and to obtain the necessary three points against surplice, which have nothing to lose - no one expected them best," said team captain Slovak Matej Liptak SITA after Friday raffling program. On Saturday at 14.00 h on the clay under the roof retracted Aegon arena NTC, 14.00 progressively meet domestic unit Carolina Schmiedlová with number two hostiek Rebecca Peterson and two hostiteliek Daniela Hantuchova with the leader severaniek Susanne Copper. Both Slovaks are the Top 50 single in the rankings, vyzývateľky consistently outside the two hundred prominent.

"The Swedes come without its best toys Johanna Larsson, which is certainly debilitating. Trotted out with a young team and individual tennis players too do not know. It could be their advantage, since they could tie our path taken in tournaments or on television," said Liptak. Personal coach Dominika Cibulkova has no medical reasons provided in addition to his or svěřenkyni Magdalena Rybarikova, Chief of Staff of implementation of Sweden Lars-Anders Wahlgren missing besides Larsson also experienced a former member of the Top 30 Sofia Arvidsson.

Liptak revealed that the workouts are pushed to the attention of Jan Čepelová (fourth member of the squad is junior Kristina Schmiedlová): "I chose Kaju and Daniela, because in that first sees major gaming comfort and the other has a vast experience. Janka, however, also showed a really great form. You, however, still does not have the match practice, since it was more out of a carousel and yet not at one hundred percent level. If, however, in view of the development will be necessary, I believe that the first two singlistky absolutely hosts."

The winner of last week's tournament on hard surfaces in the hall in Polish Katowice Carolina Schmiedlová quickly become accustomed to a different base. "I did not make the transition problems. We first went to my training. During the week, we first tuned form. I did not have any long workouts that I stayed fit for the weekend. I think I'm doing well. I look forward to the matches. The Swedes do not know too much, but the master was on several occasions to look at their training and undoubtedly my order. On my Saturday's grueling Peterson is also inquire about Janky Čepelová that the Last year it played in Bastad. Basically, however, I would still be one who stands on the other aging court - first of all I have to show my game. I'm quite glad that I will begin on Saturday. I know the exact time and will not have to wait " said the 20-year SITA Košičanka, which premiered a small single unit team SR.

Eleven years more experienced spoludržiteľka Fed Cup 2002 Hantuchova in a similar way to SITA noted: "It is particularly important that we concentrate on his own game and handed over to the maximum. No debate is always a bit difficult to play against surplice, whose tennis I do not know. It will be over first gemoch traceability of style, accept it and focus on it, over which I have control." The former päťka the rankings a little hoarsely said with a smile. "Physically I feel fine and even with that voice is better, although not optimal. I graduated this court a lot of time and hopefully it burns well. With those vocal cords rather leave it to the fans. I, I will endeavor to show something gaming. I hope that we will have great support from the stands and fans will enjoy a nice sporty weekend with a successful end to us."

Slovakia - Sweden opened Schmiedlová with Peterson

"The Swedes are going to struggle with the fact that they have nothing to lose. They have a young team with players that are built renkingovo much lower than ours. It can be for us an advantage and a disadvantage. You never know what these toys will perform. I firmly believe that decides the quality of our hráčok. All the girls I showed on the court in good shape. I bet that Kaja Schmiedlová is the best game cool Daniela is again very experienced. The team is for many years. He knows what to expect from the Fed Cup and the it entails. Always gives one hundred percent in the preparation matches and is able to stir up the excellent performance," said Slovak captain Matej Liptak .

Schmiedlova pleased that a witness enters the initial singles: "I am quite happy that I start, at least I know exactly where I play. It does not matter whether I drive or two. Fed Cup is a team competition. I will do all that is in my power and I will fight for every ball. After first taking up home in Fed Cup match in which anything goes on. I believe I can handle it. I had no problems with the transition from the Katowice Hardy Bratislava's hard, I quickly got used to. "

For Hantuchova Celik is unknown, "Mato Liptak watched her trainings and certainly I will provide information about it. Sometimes it is difficult to compete against toys that do not even know. It will take a few many games until you get a feel for it, but I believe that to assert my arms. "

Swedish captain Walhgren after raffling said: "The decision of whom to nominate Fed Cup match is always difficult. Susanne and Rebecca playing well this year, so I gave them the opportunity to dvojhier."

Celik does the Slovak entire team no wrestling experience: "My coach them during follow and give me useful information. Both play very good tennis. I expect a difficult meeting, we will try to bring the best performance."

Career win #538, and it came easy, guys. 6-2, 6-0. Daniela won the first four games, Celik the next two, then Dani closed in style with the last eight. Love it when she whomps someone that she should. Schmiedlova won 6-3, 6-3, so Slovakia is dominating like they're supposed to.

A fairly routine win by Daniela. The first set was reasonably competitive as Celik put up some resistance and the games took a while and a few GPS for Daniela to win and Celik even broke Daniela. When Daniela got the first set she went through the second set pretty quickly and was was able to win in under an hour to put Slovakia 2-0 up in the tie after Carolina won her match. I actually saw the first set on a buffering stream which then switched to ice hockey after the first set so I had to follow the second set on live scores which ticked off a game to Daniela every couple of minutes as Daniela sailed through it.

It would be great if Carolina can win the first match tomorrow and clinch the tie and let Daniela put her feet up but if Daniela needs to clinch the tie then she'd be able to do it.
