Italy & US set for Fed Cup final

BBC Online

Italy will go into this weekend's Fed Cup final as favourites with home advantage against a United States team lacking the Williams sisters.

The US have a 9-0 record against Italy but the hosts have reached three of the last four finals, winning in 2006.

Serena and Venus Williams have both chosen not to play for the US after ending their season in Doha last week.

The final will take place on clay at the Circolo del Tennis in Reggio Calabria on Saturday and Sunday.
