Here’s a summary of the performance of Estonia at the 2002 Federation Cup
Estonia at the 2002 Federation Cup could not display any sparkle. Out of the three Round Robin matches it played, it won the initial two matches and lost the final match. Then it progressed into the first round. In this round, it could not win a single match and lost to Israel. The performance was not notable and could not be classified as an impressive one. The outcome revealed that the decade long experience of the country in the cup was of not much use.
