Fed Cup Finale 2018

By Chris Dinsdale

November 10, 2018 - November 11, 2018 - The Czech Republic and the United States contest the Fed Cup Final in Prague. The teams have a long-standing Fed Cup rivalry, dominated by the USA which has won 10 of their 12 meetings in the competition, including each of the last eight matches dating back to 1985.

The Czech Republic and the U.S. are the two most successful teams in Fed Cup history, with 28 titles between them including six of the last seven trophies since 2011.

The United States are the reigning champions and are aiming for a 19th crown, but are fielding a relatively inexperienced team in this year’s final. The Czech Republic, led by Petra Kvitova, are looking for their 11th title.

The two nations have met in the final twice previously, with the Czechs defeating the Americans in japan in 1985, before the USA avenged that defeat in Prague the following year.
