Italy, the defending champion, hosts France in the Fed Cup semifinals on July 14 and 15.
I was listening to Severine Bremond’s interview in which she talks about her expectations for the Fed Cup and compares France’s first round tie in Japan to the upcoming one in Italy.
The Frenchwoman mentions that women in the French team get along very well and points out how their team consists of really good players. World No. 37 says that Italy will be a tough opponent, since France lost to Italy the last time they faced each other.
Bremond emphasizes how she loves playing for her country, and says that the team will give their best.
