Go France

shuai always play well in front of Chinese crowd :lol: like beijing tournament and H.K expo :haha:

Great chance for China, go girls!

Shame Marion's not playing :sad: Goodluck France anyway :yeah:

pity that the top3 players in France won't play here...
could've been much more interesting match up...

Too bad Tati and Amé are not playing :(
Anyway I'll follow it though, I hope Alizé will play singles !

Go！！

Cornet chosen for debut (http://www.fedcup.com/news/newsarticle.asp?articleid=11255)

:bounce: ALLEZ LA FRANCE :bounce:

I think Virginie could win her 2 matches, and Alizé could win against Peng. :angel:
I fear if there is 2-2 after the singles, France would have no chance to win... :sad:

Allez! :bounce:

Alizé :hearts:

c'est fini maintenant :o :sad:

hélas oui :sad:

on ne sait jamais,j'ai lu q Peng ne jouera pas demain...

je vois mal Vivi battre une Na Li très en forme :sad:

oui,mais la chinoise va peut être sentir la pression de gagner chez elle tandis q les françaises n'ont plus rien à perdre,elles pourront jouer + relax à mon avis...enfin,je n'y crois pas trop,amis je veux y croire encore ;)

even if Shuai wouldn't play tomorrow I don't think Razzano can beat Na...
plus, I think the Chinese doubles are clearly the favored side...

any live stream???

je vois mal Vivi battre une Na Li très en forme :sad:

Il faut toujours y croire ;) Virginie vient de battre Na Li en 3 sets :woohoo:

Allez Nathalie maintenant!!!!!! :D
