2000 Fed Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2000 Fed Cup was the 38th edition of the most important competition between national teams in women's tennis. Changes were made to the World Group; there was one group of 13 teams, rather than two groups as in the past. The group played in three round-robin pools, with the winner of each pool joining defending champions the United States in a knockout bracket. A record 100 nations participated in the tournament. In the final, the United States defeated Spain at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV, United States, on 24-25 November, giving the USA their 17th title.
