Andrea Petkovic will face Melanie Oudin on Sunday in a crucial Fed Cup tieYou can watch and bet on the action from the Fed Cup at bet365The USA are in serious trouble in this year’s Fed Cup World Group play-offs, and stand just one defeat away from relegation to World Group 2. Following a disappointing pair of results on Saturday, the USA trail Germany 2-0, and Melanie Oudin will need to defeat Andrea Petkovic in order to save the tie.
Petkovic is in great form this season, and has made headlines for her tennis as well as her victory dances. She recently entered the top twenty, and started well here in Stuttgart with a 6-3, 6-4 victory against Christina McHale. Oudin on the other hand was beaten 6-2, 7-6(5) by world No. 34 Julia Goerges.
The pressure is on Oudin to grab a result, though the odds appear to be stacked against her. She has a 1-0 head to head record against Petkovic, but that single win came back in 2007, before either player was anywhere near their best. It looks like Oudin will need to be on top form in order to keep the USA in with a chance of staying in the World Group.
