The Americans advanced to the Fed Cup semifinals after teenager Melanie Oudin defeated Julie Coin in Sunday’s first reverse singles match.

Oudin posted a 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 victory over Coin to give the United States a insurmountable 3-0 lead over France in the best-of-five tie. Oudin and Bethanie Mattek-Sands won singles matches Saturday.

The Americans have captured the Fed Cup 17 times, but last won it in 2000, and last year finished as the runner-up to Italy. The team is playing without its top two stars in Serena and Venus Williams.

France has won just once in 12 all-time meetings with the U.S. in Fed Cup play, with the lone triumph coming at the 2003 final.

The United States will next face the Russia-Serbia victor
