Glatch comes thru in the clutch…..
by bahamaderek on Apr.26, 2009, under 2009 Fed Cup, Alexa Glatch
19 year old rookie Alexa Glatch breezed past Petra Kvitova 6-2, 6-1, to give the USA a legitimate shot at advancing into the final of the 2009 Fed Cup. Playing more like a veteran than a rookie, Alexa fired 6 aces in a confident win over her Czech opponent. It was her second impressive win in her debut appearance in the Fed Cup giving up just a total of 6 games in her two matches. The final outcome comes down to the 5th rubber that will feature Leizel Huber of the US, and whoever Mary Joe Fernadez sends out to be her partner. Huber is the highest ranked doubles player in the field with a wealth of experience that should be enough to carry the USA to victory.
If they win they will meet the winners of the Russia/Italy tie.
