Fed Cup resumes tomorrow and it will involve some of our favorite hotties.

First of all Team Russia will be playing Team USA in the semifinals over in Moscow. The team will have a different look with Svetlana Kuznetsova as the top player in Masha`s place via a predetermined agreement. Also Vera Z is also aboard, replacing Dinara Safina. Of course Anna and Elena will be returning. Even without Masha, Team Russia should be fine, especially since Svetlana Kuznetsova is very good and Team USA consists of younger, mostly inexperienced players who are playing instead of the Williams Sisters, Lindsay Davenport and Ashley. I think Team Russia should win this weekend`s tie pretty easily. In fact i would be surprised if they lost a match.

Meanwhile in the World Group playoffs, Italy will take on Ukraine in one of the ties, with the winner qualifying to play for the Fed Cup next year. This tie noteworthy in that it will feature two of our favorite new hotties, Flavia and Alona. Now that would make for a very hot match both on and off the court.

As for the tie, i think that Italy is obviously the favorite due to their experience, but the Ukrainian ladies will be coming in with a lot of youthful energy. I think that they need to split the singles matches and have it come down to the doubles match, which means turning it over to the always formiable Bondarenko sisters to have a chance of winning. Also in the World Group playoffs, Alize will be with the French team in their tie against Japan, but unfortunately isn`t scheduled to play unless one of the other players are unable to play.

I hope that she gets on the court, whether if it`s singles or doubles. She has been playing very well lately and deserves it.

The World Group II playoffs will have a few more of our favorites. First of all Serbia will be taking on Croatia and they`ve brought out their big guns, Ana and Jelena, who will obviously bring a lot of excitement and hottness to the tie. Obviously barring any kind of disaster the Serbs should win this tie. Also Slovakia will be going up against Uzbekistan(I didn`t know they played tennis in that country). Obviously this tie has lost a lot of luster with Dani unable to play due to the heel injury, but fortunately for the Slovaks, they`ve got Domi playing in the tie, which they should also win.

I hope that some of our favorite hotties who will be playing in this weekend`s Fed Cup matches will play hard and have a lot of fun this weekend.

Anyway here are some pics from the press conferences and practices to get us ready.

It`s nice of her to show us some love with this nice pic.

It`s great to see Ana and Jelena teaming up again.

Their teammates are pretty cute.

I wanted to give Vera a call before practice. Obviously she likes the roses.
