The Fed Cup started today for the Russian team, and was not the best way.
Bad day for the Russian team, lost her match against Kuznetsova 6-3 3-6 4-6 Cornet leaving much in favor of France 1-0, and leaving all the pressure to Mary, who could not take losing well over against Razzano 3-6 4-6, France leads 2-0, tomorrow Mary will come out to play life by Russia against Cornet, who will be the 1st match of the day.
Svetlana Kuznetsova was the one who started facing Alize Cornet. The meeting appeared to be in the hands of Russian, who had already won the first set by the partial 6 / 3, but what is certain is that it ended the second set with the partial 3 / 6 for the French. In the third set, Kuznetsova was never ahead in the marker than Cornet when he complained of ankle, asking to healthcare. It was not enough for the Russian tennis player took out the win and after two and a half hours of play, Alize Cornet emerged victorious by partial 3 / 6, 6 / 3, 6 / 4.
Another surprise was to see Sharapova lose against Virginie Razzano, France's which had also caused some trouble to the Russian in the second round of the Australian Open.
Sharapova had a total of eight double faults, three aces, 49 unforced errors and only nine winners.
Mary had shown a good start breaking the 1st game of Razzano but were breaking each other up to 2-2 but then Mary felt public pressure from his many mistakes that I take Razzano playing good tennis to win the 1st set 6-3.
In the 2nd set, Maria slow start leaving the score 4-1 for Razan, but just when it could not be worse Maria sack courage and won 3 straight games tying 4-4, but not as rough and then broke Razzano with Service won the set 6-4.
On Sunday, Russia will need to win all of their 3 matches to have an chance of advancing to the semis in April. Maria will be up first against Alize Cornet. Maria has never played Cornet before.
