The 2000 Fed Cup was the 38th edition of the most fabulous sporting events in the women’s tennis. There were about 100 teams taking part in this competition and Romania at the 2000 Fed Cup was one of them. Romania started playing in the Fed Cup since 1973 and their best performance has come on their debut when they reached the semifinals of the world group but failed to reach the finals. Also there after they reached the quarterfinals of this competition on five occasions in the year 1973, 1974, 1978, 1980 and 1981.

Romania at the 2000 Fed Cup was in the Euro/African zone group I along with the teams like Bulgaria, Great Britain, Greece, Belarus, Finland, Latvia, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Israel, Luxembourg, Morocco, Netherlands, Turkey and Ukraine.

Romania played against Slovenia in the first round robin match in this match Romania was having a terrible time as they were unable to win a single game. Slovenia outclassed Romania in that match by the score of 3:0.

In the next round robin match against Belarus Romania yet again were in the same situation as they were defeated in that match by the score of 3:0. Then in the third round robin match against Morocco Romania gained some confidence as they displayed a better performance in this match. It never looked like they were the same team which played against Slovenia and Belarus. Romania defeated Morocco by the score of 3:0.

Even in the last round robin match against Poland Romania looked much more matured as they outclassed Poland with ease and the score was 3:0 in favor of Romania. But after all these efforts Romania had nothing to gain as they remained in the same group I for the 2001 Fed Cup.

The overall performance of Romania at the 2000 Fed Cup was satisfactory as they just managed to win two matches out of four matches they played.
