Russia ousts US in Fed Cup semifinals

July 14, 2007

Russia's Nadia Petrova competes against United States' Meilen Tu in a semi-final Fed Cup tennis match, Sunday, July 15, 2007, in Stowe, Vt. Petrova won 6-1, 6-2.

Russian depth simply short-circuited American power. Even without two injured players, Russia still had enough tennis talent to overcome slugging Venus Williams and the United States 3-2 Sunday in the semifinals of the Fed Cup. Russia advanced to the Fed Cup final against Italy, which eliminated France earlier Sunday.
