After the first day of the Fed Cup final, the Czech Republic leads defending champions USA 2-0, which is pretty much an insurmountable lead, as the Czechs have a stronger team, especially if we take into account that for the potentially deciding doubles rubber they have doubles No.1s Katerina Siniakova and Barbora Krejcikova ready to show their skills.
In the first match on Saturday, Barbora Strycova rallied from a set down to defeat Sofia Kenin 6-7(5) 6-1 6-4, while Katerina Siniakova enjoyed a more straightforward win against Alison Riske 6-3 7-6(2).
