Slovenia at the 2000 Federation Cup

The 2000 Fed Cup was the 38th edition of the most renowned sporting events in the history of the women’s tennis. There were about 100 teams which took part in this competition and Slovenia at the 2000 Fed Cup was one of them. Slovenia started its Fed Cup campaign in the year 1992 and till date they have not yet played in the world group.

Slovenia 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, Hungary, Poland, Israel, Romania, South Africa, Sweden, Ukraine, Luxembourg, Morocco, Netherlands and Turkey.

Slovenia had a great start in this competition as they trounced Romania and Poland in the round robin matches. Slovenia defeated them with a similar score of 3:0. In the next match against Belarus

Slovenia had little problems and even after trying so hard they were not able to win that match. Slovenia was defeated in that match by Belarus by the score of 2:1.

In the last match against Morocco, Slovenia had no problems at all as they went on to defeat Morocco, by the score of 2:0. Even after wining three matches out of four, Slovenia had to remain in the same group for the 2001 Fed Cup.

The over all performance of Slovenia at the 2000 Fed Cup was satisfactory. After a great start Slovenia lost a match to Belarus and this was the reason for their failure of not getting a place in the world group. If a little more effort had been taken by Slovenia in the match against Belarus they could have made to the other rounds and that would put them to the world group Play-off round.
