Fed Cup Day 2

Sara Errani has pulled Italy into a 4-0 lead over France thanks to a surprise 6-3, 6-4 victory over Amelie Mauresmo. Perhaps Mauresmo was feeling the effects of Flavia Pennetta's backlash in yesterday's infamous clash at Orleans.

Russia have whitewashed China 5-0, thanks to a doubles victory from top ten players Elena Dementieva and Svetlana Kuznetsova. The pair lost the first set 6-1 to the pairing of Tiantian Sun and Zi Yan, but regrouped to win the next two 6-4, 6-4. This follows Anna Chakvetadze and Alisa Kleybanova's singles victories earlier today.

Ukraine have pulled Israel back to 2-2 in Kharkhiv after Kateryna Bondarenko won her match against Tzipora Obziler 6-1, 4-6, 6-0. Earlier, Alona Bondarenko lost to Shahar Peer 4-6, 7-5, 6-4.

Estonia, Poland and Canada have qualified for the World Group II play-offs. Estonia beat Belarus 2-0, Poland beat Great Britian 2-1 and Canada beat Paraguay 3-0.
